Retarded field calculation of electron energy loss in inhomogeneous dielectrics
Open accessAbstract
The exact solution of Maxwell's equations in the presence of arbitrarily shaped dielectrics is expressed in terms of surface-integral equations evaluated at the interfaces. The electromagnetic field induced by the passage of an external electron is then calculated in terms of self-consistently obtained boundary charges and currents. This procedure is shown to be suitable for the simulation of electron energy loss spectra when the materials under consideration are described by local frequency-dependent response functions. The particular cases of translationally invariant interfaces and axially symmetric interfaces are discussed in detail. The versatility of this method is emphasized by examples of energy loss spectra for electrons passing near metallic and dielectric wedges, coupled cylinders, spheres, and tori, and other complex geometries, where retardation aspects and Cherenkov losses can sometimes be significant.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
