Effect of Multiple Scattering on the Accuracy of Determining Concentrations of Hydrogen Isotopes via Elastic Peak Electron Spectroscopy

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A small-angle theory is developed for the elastic reflection of electrons off multicomponent materials. A way of interpreting signals of elastic peak electron spectroscopy (EPES) is devised that considers the multiple scattering effect. It is shown that a straight line approximation describes the EPES signal with acceptable accuracy.
