Atomic scattering factors for K-shell electron energy-loss spectroscopy

Atomic scattering factors for -shell electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) have been calculated for elements in the range Z = 6 (carbon) to Z = 50 (tin). The calculations are based on relativistic Hartree-Fock wave functions for the atomic bound states and Hartree-Slater wave functions for the continuum states. The results are presented in parameterized form so that accurate values of the scattering factors can be obtained for incident electron energies between and  keV, collection semi-angles between and  mrad, and energy windows between and  eV. The parameterizations are for scattering vectors with magnitude = up to 2.5 Å^-1 ( is the scattering angle and is the wavelength of the incident electrons).
