Abstract
An analysis of spin-polarized electron-energy-loss experiments in Fe is described which suggests that (1) free-electron-like Stoner excitations are far more probable than the usual type and (2) exchange events involving relatively large energy losses are much more likely than direct scattering.Keywords
