Abstract :
The purpose of this work is to present a new mathematical modeling, coupling electric field with electron/hole transport and describing the spatial and temporal charge trapping in an insulator submitted to an electron beam irradiation, and which computes the temporal evolution of the secondary electron emission as a function of global trapped charge. A comparison with some preliminary experimental results are encouraging.
