(a) A schematic diagram of the Monte Carlo simulation method. The incident electron travels a distance s before being inelastically scattered by polar angle θ and azimuthal angle ϕ. (b) An illustration of how the electron-beam wavefunction is altered by a single inelastic scattering event at a depth s in a specimen of thickness t. φg(0) is the incident-beam wavefunction, is the elastic scattered wavefunction at a depth s and is the inelastic wavefunction at the specimen exit surface. |
