Plasmon losses in core-level photoelectron spectra by multiple scattering

Abstract

When X-rays are irradiated, photoelectrons are emitted. In the process of photoelectron emission and propagation, the potential change yields plasmon, then photoelectrons lose energy. The multiple scattering method have been used for handling the behavior of photoelectrons without approximation. Based on this method, we report the analysis of plasmon peaks by X ray irradiation.
