Characteristic Steady-State Electron Emission Properties for Parametric Blackbody X-Ray Spectra on Several Materials

Abstract

The author collects together in this note certain photoelectric efficiencies, electron energy spectra, electron boundary layer plasma Debye lengths, electron number densities, electric fields, and plasma frequencies prevailing in steady state when blackbody photon sources are incident on aluminum, gold, and silicon dioxide. Only backscattered electrons are considered. The figures presented allow quick estimates of many boundary layer properties.
