Comparing electron and X-ray scattering in metals

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The cross sections for inelastic scattering of electrons and X-rays in metals for fixed momentum transfer are proportional according to the Born approximation. This contradicts the experiments. For electrons multiple scattering is essential. This can be included in a weak coupling limit, which depends on the usual dynamic structure factor only.
