Abstract
An extension of a first-principle combined Monte Carlo method is proposed in this work to obtain the secondary electron emission characteristics of anisotropic crystal Al2O3. Unlike isotropic crystal Cu, density functional theory calculations reveal that the q-dependent energy loss function of Al2O3 in all directions is different. Therefore, an interpolation algorithm is introduced in the Monte Carlo method to determine the loss of energy and inelastic mean free path of electrons. The simulation results are in good agreement with experimental data. This method can be further used to simulate the secondary emission yield of other anisotropic crystal materials.
