Abstract:
The simulation by the Monte Carlo method has proved to be effective in highlighting the absorption properties, of backscattering and transmission when propagating 5 KeV electron beams through 150 µm thick of each of the BeO and NaCl materials. Despite the fact that a very small fraction of the primary electrons was transmitted in the materials, several microscopic phenomena occurred at the level of the electronic sub-layers. This is the characteristic line, fluorescence and bremsstrahlung. The energy of the incidence electrons was higher than that of the sub-shells of atoms in the materials studied. The sub-shells concerned were for oxygen: KL2, KL3, KM2, KM3, L3M1, L3M3, L2M1, L1M3, L1M2, chlorine: L1M2, sodium: KL2 and KL3. Due to their properties, the use of BeO and NaCl can improve performance in the manufacture of advanced technology devices such as synchrotron, clinical particle accelerator and X-ray tube.
