Angular anisotropy of electron-excited secondary electron emission

Surface Science, 1994
Abstract We studied the influence of the crystalline structure of III–V compound semiconductors on the intensity of the energy distribution of secondary electrons. Modulation of the amplitude of the primary electron waves within the crystal by electron-atom scattering results in a dependence of secondary emission intensity on the incidence angle.

Secondary electron emission from insulators

Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 1978
The high yield of secondary electron emission from insulators due to electron bombardment may be the result of an increase of the depth of escape. The free-electron scattering theory is applied to the high energy of the primary beam, but it cannot be applied to the low energy of the secondary escaping beam because of the large energy gap of insulators.

Secondary electron emission from aluminium

Surface Science, 1976
Abstract The true secondary electron peak of aluminium is observed during the cleaning process controlled by Auger spectroscopy. The features which appear are studied in relation with the electron energy loss spectrum. This observation confirms the hypothesis of emission of secondary electrons by the plasmon decay.

Secondary Electron Emission

1958
When the surface of a solid is bombarded with charged particles of sufficient kinetic energy, emission of electrons by the solid may be observed. This phenomenon of secondary electron emission was discovered by Austin and Starke in 1902 in a study of the reflection of electrons by metals; they observed that under certain circumstances more electrons ...

Fundamentals of Secondary Electron Emission

Proceedings of the IRE, 1951
Secondary electron emission is of great importance to the physicist because of its bearing upon the problem of the interactions between fundamental particles and to the radio engineer because of its applications, as well as its effect, upon the operation of electronic tubes.

Secondary electron emission from insulators

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1998
A modified LEED/Auger diagnostic allows the measurement of the coefficient of secondary electron emission, δ, under electron bombardment. To measure currents on insulators, the system is pulsed. Problems due to charging are alleviated by alternating between pulses in which the target charges negatively (δ 1). A measurement of δ requires a total primary

Secondary electron emission from CuInTe2

Journal of Applied Physics, 1980
Measurements of secondary electron emission yield and inelastic reflection coefficient for monocrystalline CuInTe2 have been made using samples freshly cleaved in ultrahigh vacuum. The yield curve exhibits significant structure which may be explained in terms of primary beam diffraction from (310) planes.

Secondary Electron Emission

1948
Publisher Summary This chapter provides a review of the present state of knowledge of secondary electron emission (SE) by electrons from metals, insulators, and complex surfaces. A great deal of early work in SE was devoted to a careful analysis of the “fine structure” of the yield curve in which numerous small humps and inflexion points between zero

Secondary Electron Emission from Germanium

Physical Review, 1954
Secondary emission by electron bombardment has been measured for single crystals of Ge with $p\ensuremath{-}n$ junctions. Maximum yield was found in the range $\ensuremath{\delta}=1.15\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03$, at ${V}_{p}\ensuremath{\approx}500$ volts and room temperature.

Theory of secondary electron emission

Solid State Communications, 1978
Abstract The fine structure in angle-resolved secondary electron spectra is shown to be related to the total reflectivity in low-energy electron diffraction (LEED). Theoretical results for tungsten are compared with experimental data. For non-normal emission, spin-orbit coupling is predicted to produce spin polarization of the emitted electrons.
