Inelastic mean-free paths and surface excitation parameters by absolute reflection electron-energy loss measurements

Journal Article Nagatomi, T ; Goto, K - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

An analytical approach is proposed for simultaneously determining the inelastic mean-free path (IMFP), the surface excitation parameter (SEP), and the differential SEP (DSEP) in absolute units from an absolute reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) spectrum under the assumption that the normalized differential inelastic mean-free path for bulk excitations and the elastic scattering cross section are known. This approach was applied to an analysis of REELS spectra for Ni, and the IMFP, SEP, and DSEP in Ni for 300-3000 eV electrons were determined. The resulting IMFPs showed good agreement with those calculated using the TPP-2M predictive equations and with thosemore »« less

Measurement of the Low-Energy Electron Inelastic Mean Free Path in Monolayer Graphene

Journal Article Da, Bo ; Sun, Yang ; Hou, Zhufeng ; ... - Physical Review Applied

Measuring the electron-transport properties of substrate-supported nanomaterials with the traditional two-point comparison method is difficult at electron energies below 50 eV, where core-level signals are too feeble to be detected against the strong secondary-electron background. Herein, a data-driven spectral analysis technique is used to study the low-energy electron-transport properties of substrate-supported target nanomaterials, while eliminating the influence of the substrate signal. Applying this technique, the electron-transport properties of the effective attenuation length and the inelastic mean free path (IMFP) can be determined with extremely high efficiency over the entire measured energy range of 6–600 eV. Further, these results show excellentmore »« less

Thermal Conductivity Spectroscopy Technique to Measure Phonon Mean Free Paths

Journal Article Minnich, A. J. ; Johnson, J. A. ; Schmidt, A. J. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Size effects in heat conduction, which occur when phonon mean free paths (MFPs) are comparable to characteristic lengths, are being extensively explored in many nanoscale systems for energy applications. Knowledge of MFPs is essential to understanding size effects, yet MFPs are largely unknown for most materials. Here, we introduce the first experimental technique which can measure MFP distributions over a wide range of length scales and materials. Furthermore by using this technique, we measure the MFP distribution of silicon for the first time and obtain good agreement with first-principles calculations.

Spin dependence of the inelastic electron mean free path in Fe and Ni: Explicit calculations and implications

Journal Article Hong, Jisang ; Mills, D L - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We present explicit calculations of the dependence of the inelastic electron mean free path on spin direction and energy, for propagation in the bulk of the ferromagnetic metals Fe and Ni. The substrate electrons are modeled within the framework of an empirical tight-binding description of the 3d, 4s, and 4p bands combined with intra-atomic Coulomb interactions between electrons in the 3d shell. The analysis of spin-flip contributions to the inelastic mean free path incorporates the role of spin-wave emission. We discuss the energy variation of the spin asymmetry in the mean free path, along with other issues. For electrons amore »« less
