Abstract

Values of k and p are given for predicting inelastic mean free paths for electrons with energies from 200 eV to 10 keV from the simple formula λ = kEp, based on theoretical calculations for ten elemental and compound solids. These results indicate that in the energy range 400 eV ⩽ E ⩽ 2000 eV, the value of p lies in the range 0.65–0.80. For Si and SiO2, presentation of the available experimental data and theoretical results illustrate the differences which exist in the values of electron mean free paths.
