5. Choice of stopping power corrections:

1 … Stopping Power of Duncumb-Reed (FRAME)

2 … Stopping Power of Philibert and Tixier

3 … Stopping Power (Numerical Integration)

4 … Stopping Power of Love-Scott

5 … Stopping Power of Pouchou and Pichoir

6 … Stopping Power of Phi(pz) Integration

 

The conventional correction is #1. Corrections #1 and #4 give similar results. When using #4, also use the Love/Scott expressions for backscatter coefficients and Phi(0). When using #1, use the Heinrich backscatter coefficients and Reuter Phi(0). Correction #6 may only be employed when one of the Phi(Rho-Z) absorption corrections are being used. Even then, it does not give as good results as #1 or #4 for silicates and oxides and it is seldom used.  The default selection is #4.
