REELS spectra recorded for primary energies in the range from 300 eV to 10 keV were corrected for multiple inelastically scattered electrons to determine the effective inelastic-scattering cross section. The dielectric functions and optical properties were determined by comparing the experimental inelastic-electron scattering cross section with a simulated cross section calculated within the semi-classical dielectric response model in which the only input is Im(−1/ε) by using the QUEELS-ε(k,ω)-REELS software package. The complex dielectric functions ε(k,ω), in the 0–100 eV energy range, for Fe, Pd, and Ti were determined from the derived Im(−1/ε) by Kramers-Kronig transformation and then the refractive index n and extinction coefficient k. The validity of the applied model was previously tested and found to give consistent results when applied to REELS spectra at energies between 300 and 1000 eV taken at widely different experimental geometries. In the present paper, we provide, for the first time, a further test on its validity and find that the model also gives consistent results when applied to REELS spectra in the full range of primary electron energies from 300 eV to 10000 eV. This gives confidence in the validity of the applied method. ## Keywords - Electron energy loss spectroscopy - Spectroscopy - Materials science - Reflection (computer programming) - Electron spectroscopy - Electron - Electronic structure - Atomic physics - Analytical Chemistry (journal) - Chemistry - Condensed matter physics - Physics - Nuclear physics - Computer science - Quantum mechanics - Programming language - Chromatography --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
