Engineered surfaces to control secondary electron emission for multipactor suppression [PDF]
, 2016 A significant problem for space-based systems is multipactor - an avalanche of electrons caused by repeated secondary electron emission (SEE). The consequences of multipactor range from altering the operation of radio frequency (RF) devices to permanent ...

Artifacts in Secondary Electron Emission Yield Measurements [PDF]
, 2004 Measurement of secondary electron yields and electron energy distributions appears straightforward--simple equipment, simple electronics, easy-to-acquire data, at least in a laboratory setting. Unfortunately, the low secondary electron energy (2-5 eV) and the extreme sensitivity of the yield to surface condition and surrounding environment make the ...

Aluminum Secondary Electron Yield
, 2019 Accurate modeling of spacecraft charging is essential to mitigate well-known and all-too-common deleterious and costly effects on spacecraft resulting from charging induced by interactions with the space plasma environment. This paper addresses how limited availability of electron emission and transport properties of spacecraft materials—in particular ...
