“…Therefore, only the plasmon scattering angle, and not the energy loss, was included in the simulations. Other ionization events, such as the Si L- and K-edges, were ignored due to the much smaller cross-sections (Egerton, 1996; Vos & Winkelmann, 2019). Experimentally, it is known that the useful information in an EBSD pattern originates from within the first few nanometers (or tens of nm) of the specimen surface (Zaefferer, 2007; Chen et al, 2011).…”
