It is shown that a quantitative description of the energy‐loss processes in a reflection electron energy‐loss spectroscopy (REELS) experiment cannot be obtained from a simple linear combination of pure bulk and pure surface components. A quantitative description can, however, be obtained within the dielectric response formalism for a more realistic model which takes into account the physical conditions in a REELS experiment.
