Fundamentals of Inelastic Electron Scattering [E-Book] / by Peter Schattschneider.
Electron energy loss spectroscopy (ELS) is a vast subject with a long and honorable history. The problem of stopping power for high energy particles interested the earliest pioneers of quantum mechanics such as Bohr and Bethe, who laid the theoretical foun dations of the subject. The experimental o...
