Theory of electron energy-loss spectroscopy in atomically thin metallic films

We study strongly confined plasmons in ultrathin gold and silver films by simulating electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Plasmon dispersion relations are directly retrieved from the energy- and momentum-resolved loss probability under normal incidence conditions, whereas they can also be inferred for...
