As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

The transfer of the inherent bistability of spin crossover compounds to surfaces has attracted
considerable interest in recent years. The deposition of the complexes on surfaces allows …

This Perspective paper deals with an overview of particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision
models applied to different plasma-propulsion configurations and scenarios, from …

The estimate of the total electron yield is fundamental for our understanding of the test-mass
charging associated with cosmic rays in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) …

The plasma-induced charge of non-spherical microparticles is a crucial parameter in
complex plasma physics, aerosol science and astrophysics. Yet, the literature describes this …

As a source of heat load on cryogenic sections, the electron cloud is currently a major
limitation to the intensity of some modern particle accelerators such as the LHC and its high …

Over the past decade, experimental microscopy and spectroscopy have made significant
progress in the study of the morphological, optical, electronic and transport properties of …

A model is presented that explains the charging rate of the LISA Pathfinder test masses by
the interplanetary cosmic ray environment. The model incorporates particle-tracking from …

In this work, we present a computational method, based on the Monte Carlo statistical
approach, for calculating electron energy emission and yield spectra of metals, such as …

In any physical system where a surface is hit by electrons, the sticking probability s of the
electrons is a central parameter governing, for example, the charging of the surface. For …
