Electron intensity

Care must be taken in interpreting the intensity distribution, because the electron intensity depends not only on the local concentration of the element but on the topography also, because surface roughness can affect the inelastic background underneath the line. Therefore elemental maps are customarily presented as variations of the ratio of peak intensity divided by the magnitude of the background on both or one side of the line this can easily be performed by computer. 

Electron beam sterilisation is a high-voltage potential established between a cathode and an anode in an evacuated tube. The cathode emits electrons, as a cathodic ray or electron beam. A high intensity of electrons is produced. These electrons are accelerated to extremely high velocities. These accelerated electron intensities have great potential as a bacteriocide. Most electron beams operate in a vacuum. As a result the unwanted organisms in the media vanish and the media is sterilised. 

The profiles for most segregants, characterised by a rapid exponential decay with depth etched, are compatible with a single atom layer of segregant atoms at the fracture plane. The decay of the Auger electron intensity, /A, for the sputtering of atoms at the fracture plane is described by ... 

All these conflicts can now be resolved because of what appears to be a deflnitive experiment by Bocquet et al. (4), who directly measured the internal conversion coefficients of the transition from the first nuclear level to the ground state. They directly compared the L, M, N, and O conversion electron intensities in two different states—namely, in stannic oxide and white tin. They found that the 5s electron density is 30% smaller in stannic oxide than in white tin, and since the isomer shift of stannic oxide is negative with respect to white tin, AR is clearly positive. From these data, the Brookhaven group has calculated the value for AR/R for tin-119 as +3.3 X 10". ... 

Figure 4 (a) Scattered electron intensity at fixed energy loss A = 0.25 eV as a function of incident electron energy at several angles of incidence 6q on a 50-ML (monolayers) Ar film, (b) CB DOS for fee structure of solid Ar as calculated by Bacalis et al. [88]. (From Ref. 83.)... 

Excitation Eunctions of O2 and 02-Doped Ar Eilms. Resonances can be best identified by the structures they produce in excitation functions of a particular energy-loss process (i.e., the incident-electron energy dependence of the loss). Fig. 7 is reproduced from a recent study [118] of the electron-induced vibrational and electronic excitation of multilayer films of O2 condensed on the Pt(lll) surface and shows the incident electron energy dependence of major losses at the indicated film thickness and scattering angles. Also shown in this figure is the scattered electron intensity of the inelastic background...

Table 5.1 shows an application of XPS to the study of the promoted iron catalyst used in the Haber synthesis of ammonia. The sizes of the various electron intensity peaks allows a modest level of quantitative analysis. This catalyst is prepared by sintering an iron oxide, such as magnetite (Fe304) with small amounts of potassium nitrate, calcium carbonate, aluminium oxide and other trace elements at about 1900 K. The unreduced solid produced on cooling is a mixture of oxides. On exposure to the nitrogen-hydrogen reactant gas mixture in the Haber process, the catalyst is converted to its operative, reduced form containing metallic iron. As shown in Table 5.1, the elemental components of the catalyst exhibit surface enrichment or depletion, and the extent of this differs between unreduced and reduced forms. 

Therefore, with angle-resolved measurements one can determine both a and p. (For determining a this method has the disadvantage of losing electron intensity as compared to angle-integrated measurements.)... 

The sequential recording of electron spectra for small changes in the photon energy finally leads to the desired complete data set for electron intensities I = I(hv, kin). The data can be mapped in three dimensions, or in two dimensions if a grey scale is used for the intensities (black and white for extreme values of...
