Soft X-Ray Photoemission
Abstract
This work was undertaken to develop a capability to predict photoemission from materials for soft x-ray sources. Soft x-rays have energies of a few keV or less. The Boltzmann equation was solved for the electron flux - from this flux, other quantities of interest may be obtained, e.g., the photoemission yields. Three materials have been examined: aluminum, aluminum oxide, and silicon dioxide. Back photoemission yields are presented in this report for these materials. For aluminum, an extensive series of runs was made. In particular, results were obtained for a series of narrow Gaussian photon distributions from 0.5 to 10 keV and for blackbody spectra over a temperature range from 1 to 10 keV.
