By employing the relative flow technique with a dilute target, the pressure effect is excluded and the accuracy of the measured generalized oscillator strengths is improved. By comparing the present generalized oscillator strengths with the previous experimental and theoretical results, it is found that the first Born approximation is not reached at the squared momentum transfer larger than 1 a.u.. The optical oscillator strengths have been obtained by extrapolating the measured generalized oscillator strengths to zero squared momentum transfer, which cross-checks the previous electron impact and photoabsorption results. With the aid of the BE-scaling method, the integral cross sections of krypton have been determined from the excitation threshold to 5000 eV.

The results provide a critical diagnosis using SX-ARPES for the dimensionality reduction in semiconductor QW structures.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":15726,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena","volume":"270 ","pages":"Article 147406"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138490206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
