Abstract :
Electron transport through thin film semiconductors is common to both the development of semiconductor photocathodes and to secondary emission electron sources. We discuss the modeling and numerical simulation of such transport in the presence of scattering and loss mechanisms, to enable predictive estimations of energy distributions, time response, and the nature of the distribution of the emitted electrons.
