Inverse Mean Free Path, Stopping Power, CSDA Range, and Straggling in Polystyrene for Electrons of Energy < or = 10 keV.

Abstract

The interaction of electrons with solid polystyrene, -(C8H8)-, is described based on a model insulator theory to account for the response of the valence electrons, and carbon K-shell ionization cross sections derived from atomic, generalized oscillator strengths. Contributions to the inverse mean free path and energy loss due to these two excitation processes are tabulated for incident electrons with energies from 5 eV to 10 keV. Electron ranges in the continuous-slowing-down approximation and straggling are tabulated for electrons with energies from 15 eV to 10 keV. (Author)
