The effect of rough structures on the electron emission under electron impact between 10 eV and 2 keV is investigated with a new version of the low energy electromagnetic model of GEANT4 (MicroElec). The inelastic scattering is modeled, thanks to the dielectric function theory and the Motts model of partial waves to describe the elastic scattering. Secondary electron emission is modeled for grooved and checkerboard patterns of different dimensions for aluminum and silver. The analyses are performed according to two shape parameters h/L and d/L, h being the height, L the width of the structures, and d the spacing between two neighboring structures. The secondary electron emission is demonstrated to decrease when h/L and d/L ratios increase. When the height reaches 10 times the lateral dimensions, the electron emission yield is divided by two compared to that of a flat sample. The optimization of the two aspect ratios leads to a reduction of the electron emission yield of 80% for grooved patterns and of 98% for checkerboard patterns. This purely geometric effect is similar for aluminum and silver materials. A simple analytical model, capable of reproducing the effect on the electron emission yield of checkerboard and grooved patterns, is proposed. This model is found to be in good agreement with the Monte Carlo simulations and some experimental measurements performed in our irradiation facility.

We present theoretical and numerical results that demonstrate the sensitivity of the shape of a static meniscus in a rectangular channel to localised geometric perturbations in the form of narrow ridges and grooves imposed on the channel walls. The Y
oung--Laplace equation is solved for a gas/liquid interface with fixed contact angle using computations, analytical arguments and semi-analytical solutions of a linearised model for small-amplitude perturbations. We find that the local deformation of the meniscuss contact line near a ridge or groove is strongly dependent on the shape of the perturbation. In particular, small-amplitude perturbations that change the channel volume (evaluated where they intersect the contact line) induce a change in the pressure difference across the meniscus, resulting in long-range curvature of its contact line. We derive an explicit expression for this induced pressure difference directly in terms of the boundary data. We show how contact lines can be engineered to assume prescribed patterns using suitable combinations of ridges and grooves.
Secondary electron emission (SEE) from solids plays an important role in many areas of science and technology.1 In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the experimental and theoretical studies of SEE. A recent study proposed that the refl
ectivity of very low energy electrons from solid surface approaches unity in the limit of zero electron energy2,3,4, If this was indeed the case, this effect would have profound implications on the formation of electron clouds in particle accelerators,2-4 plasma measurements with electrostatic Langmuir probes, and operation of Hall plasma thrusters for spacecraft propulsion5,6. It appears that, the proposed high electron reflectivity at low electron energies contradicts to numerous previous experimental studies of the secondary electron emission7. The goal of this note is to discuss possible causes of these contradictions.
During periods of strong geomagnetic activity, intense currents flow from the magnetosphere into the high-latitude E-region ionosphere along geomagnetic field lines, B. In this region, collisions between the plasma and neutral molecules allow current
s to flow across B, enabling the entire magnetosphere-ionosphere current system to close. These same currents cause strong DC electric fields in the E-region ionosphere where they drive plasma instabilities, including the Farley-Buneman instability (FBI). These instabilities give rise to small-scale plasma turbulence that modifies the large-scale ionospheric conductance that, in turn, affects the evolution of the entire near-Earth plasma environment. Also, during geomagnetic storms, precipitating electrons of high energies, $gtrsim$ 5 keV, frequently penetrate down to the same regions where intense currents and E fields develop. This research examines the effects of precipitating electrons on the generation of the FBI and shows that, under many common conditions, it can easily suppress the instability in a predictable manner. Therefore, we expect precipitation to exert a significant feedback on the magnetosphere by preventing the elevated conductivity caused by FBI driven turbulence. This suppression should be taken into account in global modeling of the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling.
In many accelerator storage rings running positively charged beams, ionization of residual gas and secondary electron emission (SEE) in the beam pipe will give rise to an electron cloud which can cause beam blow-up or loss of the circulating beam. A
preventative measure that suppresses electron cloud formation is to ensure that the vacuum wall has a low secondary emission yield (SEY). The SEY of thin films of TiN, sputter deposited Non-Evaporable Getters and a novel TiCN alloy were measured under a variety of conditions, including the effect of re-contamination from residual gas.
Electrical characterization of few-layer MoS2 based field effect transistors with Ti/Au electrodes is performed in the vacuum chamber of a scanning electron microscope in order to study the effects of electron beam irradiation on the transport proper
ties of the device. A negative threshold voltage shift and a carrier mobility enhancement is observed and explained in terms of positive charges trapped in the SiO2 gate oxide, during the irradiation. The transistor channel current is increased up to three order of magnitudes after the exposure to an irradiation dose of 100e-/nm2. Finally, a complete field emission characterization of the MoS2 flake, achieving emission stability for several hours and a minimum turn-on field of about 20 V/um with a field enhancement factor of about 500 at anode-cathode distance of 1.5um, demonstrates the suitability of few-layer MoS2 as two-dimensional emitting surface for cold-cathode applications.
