Theory

 

Definition: A scattering process with loss of kinetic energy of the incident electron is called inelastic.

Basics of inelastic scattering processes of electrons in solids used in Monte Carlo simulation can be found in [DS89]. A detailed description is presented in [Sch86]. Inelastic scattering is defined in the following way:
