The inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra of FeSi silicide were calculated from the experimental reflected electron energy loss spectra as the product of the average inelastic mean free path and the differential cross section of the inelastic electron scattering. To inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra study, factor analysis was used. This method allowed us to quantitatively separate the surface and bulk contributions to the spectra, and determine the energy of the bulk plasmon more accurately than it is possible using traditional methods.
Inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra (KX-spectra) are the products of the average inelastic mean free path X and the differential inelastic scattering cross-section K (E0, E0 - E), where E0 and E are the energies of the primary and reflected electrons, respectively. The advantage of inelastic electron scattering cross section spectroscopy is that, unlike the reflected electron energy loss spectra, the KX-spectra exclude losses due to multiple excitations, and the intensities are determined in absolute units. These spectra are also more sensitive to changes in the energy of the primary electrons and the angle of emission. Inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectroscopy allows to determine the element composition with much greater accuracy than the traditional method of reflected electron energy loss spec-troscopy.
In this work, factor analysis is used to study the inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra of the FeSi sili-cide. This method allowed to solve the actual problem of separating spectra into contributions of a different origin, quantify them and determine the energies of a bulk plasmon more accurately compared with traditional methods. The study of electron energy loss processes by isolating contributions of different origin in the inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra is one of the urgent problems of electron spectroscopy, which can be used to assess the effect of surface excitations in REELS, XPS and AES.
Keywords: inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra, electron energy loss spectroscopy, factor analysis, iron silicides.

Спектры сечения неупругого рассеяния электронов силицида FeSi рассчитаны из экспериментальных спектров характеристических потерь энергии отраженных электронов как зависимости произведения средней длины неупругого пробега и дифференциального сечения неупругого рассеяния электронов от потерь энергии электронов. Для исследования спектров сечения неупругого рассеяния электронов применен факторный анализ. Этот метод позволил разделить вклады поверхностной и объемной природы в спектры, количественно их оценить и определить энергию объемного плазмона более точно по сравнению с традиционным методом спектроскопии потерь энергии отраженных электронов.
Спектры сечения неупругого рассеяния электронов (KX-спектры) представляют собой произведения средней длины неупругого пробега электронов X и дифференциального сечения неупругого рассеяния K(E0, E0 - E),
где Е0 и Е - энергии первичных и отраженных электронов, соответственно. Преимущество спектроскопии сечения неупругого рассеяния электронов заключается в том, что, в отличие от спектров характеристических потерь энергии отраженных электронов, в КХ-спектрах исключены потери на многократные возбуждения, а интенсивности определяются в абсолютных единицах. Эти спектры также более чувствительны к изменению энергии первичных электронов и угла эмиссии. Спектроскопия сечения неупругого рассеяния электронов позволяет определять элементный состав со значительно большей точностью, чем традиционный метод спектроскопии потерь энергии отраженных электронов.
В данной работе для исследования спектров сечения неупругого рассеяния электронов силицида ЕвБ1 применен факторный анализ. Этот метод позволил решить актуальную задачу разделения спектров на вклады разной природы, количественно их оценить и определить энергии объемного плазмона более точно по сравнению с традиционными методами. Исследование процессов потерь энергии электронов путем выделения из спектров сечения неупругого рассеяния вкладов разной природы является одной из актуальных задач электронной спектроскопии, которая может быть использована для оценки влияния поверхностных возбуждений на спектры характеристических потерь энергии электронов, рентгеновские фотоэлектронные спектры и Оже-электронные спектры.

Introduction. The successful development of nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and spintronics devices requires compliance with a number of requirements to the methods of structures synthesis on the basis of silicon and the transitional metals and to the methods of their analysis. For such structures research the greatest distribution gained such electronic spectroscopy methods as Auger-electron Spectroscopy (AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and reflected electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS). Fe-Si system, is of research interest from the fundamental and applied points of view [1]. However, the elemental analysis of iron silicides using XPS and REELS methods is difficult because the values of photoelectron and plasmon peaks energies for silicides with different structure are close to each other [2].
Inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra (KÀ-spectra [3]) are the products of the inelastic mean free path X and the differential cross section for inelastic electron scattering K (E0, E0 - E), where E0 and E are the energies of the primary and reflected electrons, respectively. The advantage of inelastic electron scattering cross section spectroscopy is that, unlike the reflected electron energy loss spectra, the KX-spectra exclude losses due to multiple excitations, and the intensities are determined in absolute units. These spectra are also more sensitive to changes in the primary electron energy and the emission angle [4-6]. Inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectroscopy allows to determine the element composition with much greater accuracy than the traditional method of reflected electron energy loss spectroscopy [6].
In this work, factor analysis (FA) is used to study the inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra of FeSi silicide. This method allowed to solve the actual problem of spectra separating into different origin contributions, quantify them and determine the energies of a bulk plas-mon more accurately compared with traditional methods. The study of electron energy loss processes by isolating contributions of different origin in the inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra is one of the urgent problems of electron spectroscopy, which can be used to assess the effect of surface excitations in REELS, XPS and AES [1-15].
Previously [16-21], we studied Si, Fe and FeSi2, Fe5Si3 silicides using an author's technique of spectra decomposition into energy loss peaks.
Experimental technique. The iron silicide FeSi is made by alloying of iron and silicon mixture in atomic ratio 1x1 under high vacuum conditions. The mixture was kept at melting temperature for 15 min. then the alloy was crushed and annealed for 15 min. 1 mm thick washers were cut out from bulk samples and after grinding the spectroscopical research was conducted.
Photoelectron spectra and integrated reflected electron energy loss spectra measurements were carried out on the ultra-high vacuum photoelectron spectrometer SPECS (Germany) at angles between the incidence and detecting electrons and the sample surface normal respectively a i = 59°, cd = 0°. The spectrometer is completed with a spherical energy analyser PHOIBOS MCD9, an X-ray tube with the double anode as a source of X-ray radiation, an electronic Microfocus EK-12-M gun (STAIB Instruments) for exaltation of electron energy loss spectra. Surface contamination, protective and oxide layers were removed using argon ions Ar+ etching (accelerating voltage 2.5 kV, ionic current 15 mA) with the raster ion PU-IQE-12/38 (SPECS) gun immediately in the spectrometer camera before electron spectra registration. The completeness of oxygen and contamination removal was controlled with X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS).
From the experimental reflected electron energy loss spectra using the QUASESTM XS REELS software package (Quantitative Analysis of Surfaces by Electron Spec-troscopy cross section determined by REELS) [22], according to the algorithm offered in [23] the inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra - the product of the inelastic mean free path X and the differential cross section for inelastic electron scattering K(E0, E0 - E) are received. Inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra are defined by electron energy loss T probability at single scattering on the inelastic mean free path X, related to an energy unit. These spectra maxima values determine probabilities of single energy loss on the surface or bulk exitations. Due to absolute values of energy loss intensity
inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra, in comparison with traditional reflected electron energy loss spectra, allow to carry out comparison and the analysis of different spectra not only on peaks energies, but also on their intensity.
Factor analysis is the statistical method widely used in electron spectroscopy [10]. Application of factor analysis is possible for spectra representing as a linear combination of components which concentration changes during any process. This method is relevant for AES where simple decomposition of spectrum lines on components is impossible as in Auger spectra, besides chemical shift there is also a change of a lines form [11-13]. In electronic Auger spectroscopy FA is used for study the processes of layer-by-layer etching of thin films [12], the processes of adsorption [13; 14].
In [15] XPS method was applied to study chemical changes induced by He+ bunch influence in a natural crystal of pyrite (FeS2). It is shown that the routine analysis use together with FA can be a powerful method of elements identification when changes in bond energy and broadening happen simultaneously. Due to the routine analysis and FA of XPS spectra combination the complete signal Fe 2p XPS was analysed.
As noted in [15], the advantage of FA, in comparison with the XPS routine analysis, is that whole set of spectra is used (usually in XPS each spectrum is separately analysed) and FA does not need the preliminary knowledge of XPS peaks form and position, that allows to get these data using only experimental data. On the other hand, the FA disadvantages is noise component existence and nonideality of a components form, in comparison with XPS results.
The inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra received at various primary electron energy or the angles of falling/detecting electrons represent sequences of data in which the relative contributions of surface and bulk loss change systematically depending on the experimental conditions. In [5] the factor analysis is used as a way of inelastic electron scattering cross section spectra decomposition into two contributions (bulk and surface) in Si and SiO2 research.
Factor analysis is carried out as follows. The matrix which columns are intensity values of energy loss at various primary electron energies is formed. At the first stage the selection of principal factors (components), which provide a spectrum in total, close to the initial, is made. Later, two columns with the greatest intensity - principal abstract factors (principal components) are allocated from the received matrix. Further, these factors conversion is carried out by multiplication to a matrix of rotation R (target rotation):
R =
cos ф sin ф - sin ф cos ф
Target rotation transforms abstract factors to physical ones by achievement of predetermined criterion of a peak form and the maximum provision. In [5] the Lorentzian peak form corresponding to bulk plasmon exaltation is taken as such criterion and by means of 9 angle change
the component form, close to the Lorentz peak having a maximum at bulk plasmon energy, is reached. Then the most accurate form of the surface was reached by additional rotation. Further reconstruction of the initial spectrum as a two factors linear combination is carried out.
In this work, unlike [5], the peaks form was not selected close to standard Lorentzian peaks, but to Tougaard peaks form. [24]:
XK =-
BT
(с - T2)
+ DT 2
The B, C, D parameters are adjustable and for each element have defined values [24]. Parameter B defines peak intensity, parameter C defines the position (influences to position, but does not correspond to it in an explicit form), parameter D defines the width and indirectly influences peak position and intensity. The Tougaard functions (universal classes of inelastic electron scattering cross-section) are used for the description of inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra.
The three-parametrical Tougaard function was transformed to:
XK = ■
BT
^ (-Tp 4Tp2 + D ))- T2 J + DT2
where Tp parameter corresponds to the position of a peak maximum in absolute units.
In fig. 1, 2 the model spectrum which consists of 2 unsolved peaks is presented.
A set of such spectra at a different peaks amplitude ratio was considered.
By means of the factor analysis 1 and 2 peaks factors are allocated from initial spectra, they coincide with initial peaks. For an example factors at rotation at different angles (fig. 3, 4) are given.
Experimental results. In fig. 5, 6 FeSi silicide spectra at primary electron energies 300 and 3000 eV are presented. The main maximum energy in FeSi inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra is close to the bulk plasmon energy [16; 25] and possesses the value 20.1 ± 0.6 eV. The low-energy Xl-spectra area has a weak peak with energy about 3 eV.
These spectra are approximated with the sum of two factors. When receiving actual factors the angle was selected so that the bulk factor was well approximated by the Tougaard peak, similarly for the surface factor, but its form remained irregular, that means the existence of several unsolved peaks of the different origin. In [16; 17] the decomposition of these spectra into the elemental components described by the Tougaard functions was carried out. The method [16-21] allows to allocate a higher quantity of peaks in Xl-spectra than the factor analysis, including separation the surface origin peaks in low-energy spectrum area.
The bulk and surface factors ratio is close to V2 that corresponds to the classic plasmon theory for the free electron gas [26].

With increasing of primary electron energy the bulk factor amplitude increases, and the surface factor amplitude decreases. This regularity is a confirmation of its origin.
The factor analysis, along with the method of ^1-spectra decomposition on the elemental components described by the Tougaard functions [16-21] can be used for the quantitative assessment of the change of various origin contributions to inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra.
Conclusion. The applicability of the factor analysis for bulk and surface contributions division in FeSi inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra has been proved.
The surface and bulk origin contribution separation and quantitative assessment in FeSi inelastic electron scattering cross-section spectra with factor analysis were carried out. Factor amplitudes dependences on primary electron energy reflect their surface and bulk origin.
