The oscillator strengths for C1s and O1s excitation of some saturated and unsaturated organic alcohols, acids and esters

Electron energy loss Spectroscopy (ISEELS) under dipole scattering conditions is used to obtain the carbon and oxygen K-shell oscillator strength spectra of methanol (CH3OH), propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH), propenol (CH2CHCH2OH), propargyl alcohol (HCCCH2OH), propanoic acid (CH3CH2COOH), acrylic acid (CH2CHCOOH) and propiolic acid (HCCCOOH). A detailed interpretation of these spectra is presented, along with a comparison with the NEXAFS spectra of …
