Abstract

The yield of cesium (Cs) atoms during electron-stimulated desorption from a cesium layer adsorbed on a tungsten surface covered with a germanium film has been experimentally determined for the first time as a function of the electron energy, the germanium film thickness, the amount of adsorbed cesium, and the tungsten substrate temperature. The results are interpreted on the basis of a model of the Auger stimulated desorption.
