Bound Electrons

Microanalysis by EELS has been developing rapidly and though the general form of the spectrum is now understood there is a need to put the technique on a more quantitative basis (1,2). Certain aspects important for microanalysis include: (i) accurate determination of the partial cross sections, σx(α,ΔE) for core excitation when scattering lies inside collection angle a and energy range ΔE above the edge, (ii) behavior of the background intensity due to excitation of less strongly bound electrons, necessary for extrapolation beneath the signal of interest, (iii) departures from the simple hydrogenic K-edge seen in L and M losses, effecting σx and complicating microanalysis. Such problems might be approached empirically but here we describe how computation can elucidate the spectrum shape.The inelastic cross section differential with respect to energy transfer E and momentum transfer q for electrons of energy E0 and velocity v can be written as

The authors investigated periodic potential changes measured on oriented sections of Al single crystals during spontaneous dissolution in dilute aqueous solutions of KOH, with the aim to find optimum conditions for the formation of potential oscillations. It was found that this phenomenon is related with the kinetics of the reaction investigated, whose rate also changed periodically. The mechanism of the oscillations is discussed in view of the experimental findings.

Using the energy Green's function formulation proposed by Niu 1 for particle densities, we construct and clarify the nature of the topological invariant assigned to the Hall conductance in the Hall system of 2-dimensional noninteracting electron gas; we identify this topological quantum number explicitly as the first Chern number of a complex vector bundle over a 2-torus parametrized by the magnetic potential (a1, a2); the fibres are finite dimensional spaces spanned by eigenfunctions of the system with energy eigenvalues below the Fermi energy. Other cases can be treated by a similar procedure, namely, by recognizing that some physical quantities are integrals of curvatures defined on a nontrivial finite dimensional complex bundle. Therefore, in suitable units, they take integer values. We treat, as an example, the electron density response to a dilation of a periodic potential. The integer in this case is the number of Bloch bands. The quantization of the Hall conductance and density response is also shown in the presence of disorder.
