25. Measurements performed on the low energy side of the so called Universal curve of the electron mean free path in solids show that EAL values depend strongly on the details of the electronic configuration of the sample. Large deviations are observed, for instance, for rare earths and 3d transition metals [H. C. Siegmann, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter JCOMEL 0953-8984 10.1088/0953-8984/4/ 44/004 4, 8395 (1992)].
26. The analysis of the probing depth of x-ray absorption measurements performed in the total electron yield mode provides further evidence of these deviations [J. Vogel and M. Sacchi, J. Electron Spectrosc. Relat. Phenom. JESRAW 0368-2048 10.1016/0368-2048(93)02034-J 67, 181 (1994);
