Hello SPIS users,
I was looking at the default material database in:
SPIS-6.1.0-win64b\resources\defaults\materialProperties\SpisDefaultMaterials.xcat
In the material XML, I see parameters like MSEY (maximum secondary electron emission yield) and PEE (primary electron energy that produces the maximum SEE yield, [keV]). My understanding is that PEE is the incident electron energy at which the yield reaches MSEY.
However, I would like to know the SEE yield as a function of primary electron energy (i.e., the full curve δ(E), not only the peak).
Does SPIS assume a specific functional form/model for δ(E) that is parameterized by MSEY and PEE (and possibly other parameters)? If so, where can I find the corresponding equation or implementation, and is there a way to evaluate/plot δ(E) over a range of energies using SPIS outputs or a built-in function?
Thank you in advance.
