Description
Summary:The processes and characteristics of secondary electron emission in insulators and semiconductors were studied, and the formulae for the maximum yield (6m) at Wpom 〈 800 eV and the secondary electron yield from insulators and semiconductors 6 at the primary incident energy of 2 keV ≤ Wpo ≤ 10 keV (δ2-10) and 10 keV ≤Wpo ≤ 100 keV (δ10-100) were deduced. The calculation results were compared with their corresponding experimental data. It is concluded that the deduced for- mulae can be used to calculate δ2-100 at Wpom _〈 800 eV.
