Abstract
The behavior of a stream of electrons penetrating a solid target is studied with a view to determining the proportion which return to the surface and pass back into space. Two existing theories (diffusion and large-angle single elastic scattering) are adapted to this end. These theories predominate for high and low atomic numbers, respectively. A combination of the two theories agrees well with experiment.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
