Abstract

An overview is given of recent work on the determination of inelastic mean free paths, mean escape depths, information depths, and effective attenuation lengths for applications in hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES). Sources of data are provided for these parameters and useful predictive equations are given. Information is given on databases available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for HAXPES applications.
