NIST Databases With Electron Elastic-Scattering Cross Sections, Inelastic Mean Free Paths, and Effective Attenuation Lengths

Published

Author(s)

Abstract

A brief description is given of three databases issued by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These databases, designed principally for applications in Auger-electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), provide electron elastic-scattering cross sections, electron inelastic mean free paths, and electron effective attenuation lengths. Examples are given of their use.
