12. The mean free path λ for 300keV electrons in Fe is roughly around 100 nm (Ref. 11). The pure ZLP was obtained by using different peak fitting models available in the Digital Micrograph™software, such as the reflected tail or combination of Gaussian/Lorentzian (resulting in a FWHM of approximately 2eV).
13. More precisely one should take the energy integral of the plasmon peak within the suitable energy range, over which the near-edge spectra are peak fitted, here energy loss of ca. 10-35eV.
14. 1=0, which explains the k independence of u, see Eq. (3).
