In angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of single crystals the core level peaks exhibit enhanced intensities along major crystal axes. This phenomenon is often referred to as electron channeling (or Kikuchi beams) due to an apparent analogy with effects found in electron microscopy. The present analysis of this phenomenon for epitaxial Cu on Ni(100) demonstrates that the electron channeling (or Kikuchi beams) approach fails completely to describe the data. The actual physical basis for this phenomenon is forward scattering of photoelectrons by overlying atoms in the lattice.
