observing vibrations : electron-phonon coupling above threshold
M Allan and I I Fabrikant, J Phys B 2002
Energy-analysis of scattered electrons permits:
- separation of elastic and inelastic channels
- measurement of inelastic cross section (electron-phonon coupling) as a function of excess energy (EDS)
- at threshold only
- elastic and inelastic together

15
observing vibrations
(1) separately from elastic process
(2)at or above threshold; Ei can be chosen to ‘hit’ various resonances
Energy-analysis of scattered electrons allows vibrations to be observed :
Cross section can be recorded as a function of
E (ELS) → spectrum of vibrational states
Ei (EDS) → spectrum of resonances
(1)elastic and inelastic processes measured together (except: action spectroscopy !)
(2)vibrational spectra are measured at threshold
No analyzer :
Resonant enhancement only when there is a resonance at vibrational threshold
