Investigation of Charging Effect on an Isolated Conductor Based on a Monte Carlo Simulation

Le résumé fourni par la source

We report calculations of charging effect on an isolated conductor, gold nanosphere, under electron beam bombardment at primary electron energies of 0.1–10 keV based on an up-to-date Monte Carlo simulation method. The calculations consider electron flow in sample, in which the electron yield is almost equivalent to the case when the electron flow is not considered. The electron yields and charging spatial distribution are obtained. For comparison, the calculation for bulk conductor is also performed, for which the time average of electric potential is found to reproduce the law of electrostatics.
