Calculation of Secondary Electron Emission Yield From MgO Surface
Secondary electron emission yield values for rare-gas particles (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe ions of atoms and molecules, metastable atoms, and excimers) of MgO deposited under optimum conditions for the highest values were calculated assuming the Auger transitions between the valence band, and the (oxygen ion vacancy + two electrons) and + (oxygen ion vacancy + one electron) centers in the MgO surf...
متن کاملSecondary electron emission spectra from clean and cesiated Al surfaces: the role of plasmon decay and data analysis for applications.
We report measurements of energy spectra of secondary electrons emitted from clean and cesiated aluminum surfaces under the impact of 130 eV electrons. Measurements show that the decay of bulk and surface plasmons dominates the electron emission. In contrast with theoretical calculations, our experiments indicate that the electron collision cascade inside the solid produced by electrons excited...
متن کاملFirst-principles study on secondary electron emission of MgO surface
We theoretically investigate secondary-electron-emission properties of MgO when noble gases are incident on the surface. We consider both potential and kinetic emission mechanisms. For the potential emission through Auger neutralization, densities of states and vacuum level are obtained from the first-principles calculations. It is found that secondary-emission coefficients decrease in the foll...
متن کاملAuger transitions and plasmon decay produced by hollow atoms at an Al(1 1 1) surface
Low-energy electron emission induced by 1–4 keV Ne4þ ion impact on an Al surface was analyzed. Distinct lines observed near 22 eV are attributed to Auger electrons ejected from doubly excited Ne decaying well above the surface. Spectral structures near 11 eV are primarily associated with the decay of bulk plasmons. After instrumental effort of extending the capability of the spectrometer to mea...
متن کاملMarangoni forces created by surface plasmon decay.
We present optical microfluidic manipulation of silicone oil and glycerol via surface tension driven forces sustained by surface plasmon deexcitation energy. The phonon energy associated with the decaying optically excited surface plasmons in a thin gold foil creates thermal gradients capable of actuating fluid flows. Spectral dependence of the plasmon decay length and control of optical beam c...
