Abstract

Flammersfeld Range energy relation for electrons in aluminum has been shown by Varshni and Karnatak to be satisfactory only above 0.2 Mev. energy. In the present work the relation, after suitable modification, has been extended to low energy region. The modified relation yields satisfactory results down to 2 Kev. and passes smoothly to its original form above 0 2 Mev. The observed values have also been compared with the theoretical results of Nelms. For a given energy, the observed range is smaller than the theoretical range.
