Abstract

Basic tools that describe the energy and angular distributions of photoelectrons emitted by inhomogeneous targets are presented. These are the functions of reflection and transmission, the function of photoelectron emission, the equation for photoelectron flow, and the equation for the transmission function, which describes the dynamics of the angular and energy spectra of photoelectrons when they move in the tar-get. The determining influence of the effects of multiple elastic scattering on the angular distribution of photoelectrons is shown. It is demonstrated in which way and by how much the effect of brightness body rotation, well known in optics, influences the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy signal. Along with analytical solutions, the results of simulation of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy signals are presented.
