Abstract

We report a simplified correction for the electron transport cross sections (TCSs) for a number of selected atomic targets ranging from H to U and electron energies between 50 and 4000 eV. The correction has been made to the approximate analytical expression of transport cross sections derived by Jablonski [A. Jablonski, Phys. Rev. B 58 (1998) 16470] where an argued parameter is introduced. The latter is obtained from a polynomial fit. The energy dependence of the percentage deviation between TCSs from the corrected expression and those obtained from other sources is presented. The TCSs calculated in the present work showed better agreement with accurate values of TCSs than those reported in earlier publications. This may facilitate the evaluation of parameters needed for quantitative Auger-electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
