## Description

- description: 'We report calculations of electron inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs)
    of 50–2000 eV electrons for a group of 14 organic compounds: 26-n-paraffin, adenine,
    β-carotene, bovine plasma albumin, deoxyribonucleic acid, diphenylhexatriene,
    guanine, kapton, polyacetylene, poly(butene-1-sulfone), polyethylene, polymethylmethacrylate,
    polystyrene and poly(2-vinylpyridine). The computed IMFPs for these compounds
    showed greater similarities in magnitude and in the dependences on electron energy
    than was found in our previous calculations for groups of elements and inorganic
    compounds (Papers II and III in this series). Comparison of the IMFPs for the
    organic compounds with values obtained from our predictive IMFP formula TPP-2
    showed systematic differences of ∼40%. These differences are due to the extrapolation
    of TPP-2 from the regime of mainly high-density elements (from which it had been
    developed and tested) to the low-density materials such as the organic compounds.
    We analyzed the IMFP data for the groups of elements and organic compounds together
    and derived a modified empirical expression for one of the parameters in our predictive
    IMFP equation. The modified equation, denoted TPP-2M, is believed to be satisfactory
    for estimating IMFPs in elements, inorganic compounds and organic compounds.'
