Abstract
In the preceding paper [Phys. Rev. B 32, 812 (1985)], the first paper of this series, an improved model of electron transport and its application to the calculation of the energy deposition of electrons in homogeneous media have been described. In the present paper (the second in this series), this model is applied to solving three typical problems of electron transport in inhomogeneous media, i.e., (1) electron transport in a slab; (2) transport of obliquely incident electrons in a semi-infinite medium; (3) energy deposition of electrons in a multilayer medium. The reflection coefficients, the spectra of reflected electrons, the angular dependence of spectra, the angular distribution of reflected electrons, the transmission coefficients of electrons, the angular distribution of the transmitted electrons, and the energy deposition have been calculated. The computational results have been compared with a large collection of experimental data. It has shown that the results from the bipartition model are in good quantitative agreement with the experimental data.
