Due to the large mass of the nucleus (relative to the mass of an electron) this energyKeywords: Electron energy loss spectroscopy; Spectrometers; Substrates; Thin films; Elastic electron scattering; Plasmon excitation; Electrons Elastic electron scattering; Plasmon excitation; Thin films200810.1016/j.elspec.2007.05.0032015-12-09
