Abstract
We study herein the charge evolution of a silica amorphous target submitted to an electronic bombardment. During the bombardment, the injected electronic charge and the primary energy as well as the surface bombardment of the target are controlled. The dynamics of the injected charge are described by combining measurements of the secondary electron and X-ray emission using a scanning electron microscope. Thus, we are able to access the evolution of the surface potential and secondary electron yield. Monte-Carlo calculations are used to simulate situations similar to our experiences and to study the effect of certain parameters (density of traps, energy of activation) inaccessible to the measures with our devices.
