22. Generally, the TEY sampling depth will depend on the photon energy as the contribution of primary photoelectrons varies with the photon energy. This is shown for the case of Au and Cu by H. Henneken, F. Scholze, and G. Ulm, J. Appl. Phys. 87, 257 (2000). Over a small energy range as in the spectra discussed here, however, the TEY sampling depth is to a good approximation constant.
