Abstract: Electron energy loss spectroscopy has been used for the investigation of the surface and bulk plasmon excitations depending on the heating in the ultra-thin layers of orderingPt80Co20(111)alloy from the primary electron beam energiesE0ranging from 200 to 650 eV. Thermo-induced shift of plasmon energy and damping of intensity line of the surface plasmon relative to the bulk plasmon were observed. With an increase in alloy heating, the energy of surface and bulk plasmons is shifted with lowering energy in the whole rangeE0and the higher the temperature the higher the shifts of plasmon energy. The physical processes that can influence on the energy shift of plasmon oscillations in the energy loss spectra at heating are considered. The relationship between the damping of oscillating concentration depth profile and the surface plasmon damping at heating was established.
