Table 140. Main edges of Cd used in EELS analysis.

Based on a non-relativistic theory, Allen and Rossouw [1] calculated the inelastic object functions for K-shell ionization. The calculated object functions for the K-shell excitations of some elements such as Te, Cd, As and Ga indicate that the localization of the object is less than 1 Å [2].
