Title: Progress report on (e,2e) collisions in thin films

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5702729

The information extracted from a given scattering experiment depends on the characteristics of the probes and on the nature of its coupling to the target. Neutrons (Egelstaff, 1965), electrons (Raether, 1965), electromagnetic radiation (Wright, 1969) and ion beams (Tolk, et al 1977) have all been used to study condensed matter. This paper concerns electrons probing thin films. With a gaseous target, the gas atoms are randomly oriented and anisotropic angular correlations are not expected. With a single crystal thin film target, the attractive expectation is that in well defined cyrstallographic directions the anisotropy of the momentum distributions may be studied. This paper reports a number of experiments which were designed to ultimately lead to such information.
