35. In the present work, the error due to the variation of the effective path length or scattering volume as a function of the scattering angle is found to be considerably smaller than the errors arising from other sources, as long as the scattering angle is sufficiently far from 0°. However, if we were to extend our present measurement to below 1°, these corrections become significant and should be made using the methods given by Bonham and Wellenstein [Appl. Phys. 44, 2631 (1973)] or by Brinkmann and Trajmar [J. Phys. E 14, 245 (1981)].

37. Although the momentum transfer is not constant over the entire energy loss range in a typical EELS spectrum recorded at a fixed scattering angle, the variation of the momentum transfer with respect to the energy loss is found to be insignificant if a sufficiently high impact energy is used. For the present experimental angular range (1°-9.5°), the corresponding momentum transfer is found to be effectively constant over the energy loss range covering the valence-shell region (0-60 eV) at 2.5 keV impact energy. The momentum transfer diverges quite notably from that at zero energy loss at higher energy loss but remains within the range expected from the angular uncertainty.
