Analytical Prediction of Photo-Compton Emission Currents

Abstract

An analytical procedure for describing vacuum photoemission from one dimensional materials more than one electron range thick has been developed. The magnitude, angular and energy distributions are expressed in terms of bulk Photo-Compton current information by algebraic formulae. A semi-empirical equation for the low energy component (<100 eV) is also presented. Comparison with experimental data is good, comparable to that obtained using more sophisticated Monte Carlo codes, except in extreme cases.
