The Compton signal in electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is used to determine the projected electron momentum density of states for the solid. A frequent limitation however is the strong dynamical scattering of the incident electron beam within...

Silica aerogels are low density solids with high surface area and high porosity which are ideal supports for catalyst materials. The main challenge in aerogel production is the drying process, which must remove liquid from the pores of the wet gel wh...

Electron Compton scattering and the measurement of electron momentum distributions in solids (2020)
Journal Article

Electron Compton scattering is a technique that gives information on the electron momentum density of states and is used to characterize the ground state electronic structure in solids. Extracting the momentum density of states requires us to assume... Read More about Electron Compton scattering and the measurement of electron momentum distributions in solids.
