Abstract

Dielectric formalism is the most used method for investigating the interaction of swift electrons with solid targets. In this chapter the Mermin energy loss function-generalized oscillator strength method (MELF-GOS method) is briefly described within the framework of dielectric formalism [1,2,3,4].
