Abstract
Intrinsic and extrinsic plasmons are defined and the contribution of each determined. It is shown that quantum interference between intrinsic and extrinsic satellites in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as well as in Auger electron spectra (AES) does not occur for plasmon loss peaks higher than first order. Line widths in measured reflected electron energy loss spectra (EELS) are analysed by subtracting the Shirley background. Contrary to common understanding, extrinsic and intrinsic contributions by plasmon peaks can be experimentally distinguishable by comparison of line widths.
