ELECTRON-STIMULATED OXYGEN ADSORPTION ON THE SURFACE OF METALS AND SEMICONDUCTORS

Abstract

The phenomenon of electron-stimulated adsorption occurs in almost all devices where electron emission is used. Electron-stimulated adsorption can have a significant effect on the state of the adsorbed layer. This review presents typical results obtained in the study of electronically stimulated processes of the oxygen adsorption from a gas phase and the main patterns of changes in the surface structure caused by electron-stimulated adsorption.
