The application of electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) to light element analysis is rapidly becoming an important aspect of the microcharacterization of solids in materials science, however relatively stringent requirements exist on the specimen thickness under which one can obtain EELS data due to the adverse effects of multiple inelastic scattering.1,2 This study was initiated to determine the limitations on quantitative analysis of EELS data due to specimen thickness.

In an earlier paper1 it was found that to a good approximation, the efficiency of collection of electrons that had lost energy due to an inner shell excitation could be written as where σE was the total excitation cross-section and σE(θ, Δ) was the integral cross-section for scattering within an angle θ and with an energy loss up to an energy Δ from the excitation edge, EE. We then obtained: where , with P being the momentum of the incident electron of velocity v. The parameter r was due to the assumption that d2σ/dEdΩ∞E−r for energy loss E. In reference 1 it was assumed that r was a constant.
