Abstract
The backscattered electron emission coefficient is defined as the fraction of electrons of the primary beam emerging from the surface of an electron-irradiated target. Secondary electrons, generated in the solid by a cascade process of extraction of the atomic electrons, are not included in the definition of the backscattering coefficient.
