Electron Energy Deposition in Atomic Oxygen

Abstract

The interaction of high energy electrons with atomic oxygen is described. A code for discrete energy deposition scheme was developed. The discrete energy method provides the electron loss function in oxygen the secondary electron distribution, the mean energy per electron-ion pair generation, and the efficiencies of all relevant inelastic processes. Our calculations show that energy electrons (500-100,000 eV) expend approx. 28 eV to generate an electron-ion pair.
