Kl. Aminov et Jb. Pedersen, ANALYTICAL BACKGROUND CORRECTION IN NUMERICAL FOURIER-TRANSFORM PROCEDURES - APPLICATION TO ELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY, Surface and interface analysis, 23(10), 1995, pp. 717-722
An analytical correction method is proposed to eliminate the problems
resulting from numerical Fourier transformation of functions with a br
oad background. The method incorporates the analytically known or obse
rved asymptotic behaviour into the numerical procedure. The applicabil
ity and high accuracy of the background correction method is illustrat
ed by application to the analysis of reflected electron energy-loss sp
ectra.
