Theoretical study of the secondary electron emission of insulating targets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the electron-induced secondary electron emission of insulating targets by a Monte-Carlo simulation method. The most important collision mechanisms in the energy domain considered are investigated. The usual approximations apparently overestimate the elastic collision rate and empirical corrections are proposed. The self-trapping of the charges is explained by the polarization of the surrounding medium. The role of the polaronic effects in the Secondary emission as well as the sensibility of the results to the choice of the different parameters are analyzed. The influence of an internal electric field caused by a "frozen" charge distribution is also investigated.

Effect of Heat Treatment Time on the Characteristics of Coating Formed on Nanocrystalline Finemet Foils
In the present research, amorphous Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 Finemet foils, 21-26µm in thickness and 5mm in width, were prepared by Planar Flow Casting (PFC) process. Wound cores of amorphous Finemet foils were simultaneously annealed and heat treated at 540°C for 60, 120 and 240 minutes in steam and air flow to form oxide insulating coating layer on both surfaces of the foils. The structure of nano...

Secondary-electron-emission processes under electron bombardment play an important role in the performance of a variety of electron devices. While in some devices, the anode and the grid require materials that suppress the secondary-electron-generation process, the crossed-field amplifier (CFA) is an example where the cathode requires an efficient secondaryelectron-emission material. Secondary-...
متن کاملTargetry for cyclotron production of no-carrier-added cadmium-109 from natAg(p,n)109Cd reaction
Background: Solid targets that consist of powder and electrodeposited targets are used commonly to produce radionuclides by accelerators. Since silver is easily electrodeposited in cyanide baths and has a very excellent thermal conductivity, the electrodeposited target is preferable to produce 109Cd. To avoid cracking or peeling of the target during bombardment, it should have a level surface a...

Abstract: The big share of electrical breakdown in electrical devices failure among other factors is caused by multitasking such as electrical insulation, mechanical support, energy dissipation, Energy storage, etc. which brings many attentions to lifetime estimation of said insulation material. Up to now, there was no-general theory had been suggested for lifetime estimation of mentioned insul...

In this study, the effect of the secondary structure of the protein on the acid strength of three structures of random (R), alpha helix (α) and beta sheet (b) were investigated theoretically. These structures are related to the cationic amino acids of histidine and lysine in the polypeptide chain of eight-glycine residue. Computational methods at the HF, B3LYP, X3LYP and M05-2X levels in t...
