Abstract

As we know, the study of the electronic and optical properties of the matter is paramount for our comprehension of physical and chemical processes which occur in nanoclusters and solids [1]. Radiation damage, investigation of chemical composition, and electronic structure study, represent a few examples of the role played by the electron-matter interaction mechanisms. Electron spectroscopy and electron microscopy are fundamental tools to examine how electrons interact with the matter [2]. In this chapter we present MC calculations of electron spectra.
