Monte Carlo simulations of backscattered electron coefficients and average penetration depths for Cu, Au, and Al under electron irradiation by Sami Mohammed Alsharari

“…However, despite their importance, there are relatively few studies that cover a wide range of energies and a variety of materials for accurately calculating BSCs and APDs. Therefore, a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation was conducted to examine and explore the electron backscattering coefficients and average penetration depths of copper (Cu), gold (Au), and aluminum (Al) when bombarded by energetic electrons with energies ranging from 0 to 60 kilo-electron volts (keV) at normal incidence. …”
