Photon and Electron Induced Electron Emission from Solid Surfaces

  • Chapter
Slow Heavy-Particle Induced Electron Emission from Solid Surfaces

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Modern Physics ((STMP,volume 225))

Abstract

The emission of electrons from solid surfaces under photon and electron impact is discussed. The focus of this contribution is on the transport of electrons from their point of generation inside the solid to the surface. The physical quantities characterizing the electron-solid interaction are introduced and their sources in the literature are given. The theory for multiple scattering is outlined in some detail and spectrum processing procedures based on it are explained. The theoretical concepts are illustrated by means of experimental examples. The considered phenomena include elastic and inelastic electron reflection from solid surfaces, Auger- and photoelectron emission and secondary electron emission.
