Abstract

Attenuation lengths for electrons passing through a free-standing 40-Å carbon film are reported for electron energies between 6 and 1200 eV. Attenuation lengths for inelastic scattering are found to decrease from approximately 20 Å at 1200 eV to 6 Å in a broad minimum at 40 eV and then to rise to 9 Å at 6 eV. The results are in satisfactory agreement with theory between 200 and 1200 eV where appropriate calculations are available.
