Abstract

The experimental vaues of Inelastic Mean Free Path (F) of electrons in noble metals (Ag, Au, Cu) are determined in the electron energy range 150-2000 eV. The method used consists of the measurements and theoretical calcuations of the coefficient of elastic backscattering of electrons from a solid surface ne . The obtained values of MFP are compared with the data available in the literature.
