Investigation of plasma excitations in technetium by inelastic scattering of electrons

  • 1. I. V. Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute

Description

We report the results of measuring, by shooting through thin films, the characteristic-loss spectrum of fast 25-keV electrons in the transition metal technetium. The experimental spectra obtained at zero momentum transfer are analyzed in detail. A characteristic feature of these spectra is that they contain several resonance peaks, the strongest being at 11 and 27 eV. A phenomenological theory is presented for longitudinal electron-density oscillations, offers at least a qualitative explanation of the observed spectra, and justifies the presence in them of several resonance lines
