Suppression of the total secondary electron yield (TEY) of metal surfaces is important in
many areas such as accelerator, satellite, and Hall thruster. Among TEY suppression …

In this work, a Monte Carlo model is used to investigate electron induced secondary electron
emission for varying effects of complex surfaces by using simple geometric constructs …

Complex structures on a material surface can significantly reduce the total secondary
electron emission from that surface. The reduction occurs due to the capture of low-energy …
