Thank you, but can you describe what N(E) actually is? I know that my system has a preamp hooked up to the apparatus, which means that my computer receives a digitized analog voltage, so how is the "current" actually being measured? I assume that N(E) is this mysterious "current" just translated...
Ah, thank you. I see that the author of this doc mentions that either the electron count or intensity is plotted vs. the kinetic energy. From what I've read about my particular setup, I will be using an electron multiplier to produce a greater number of electrons incident on the phosphor screen...
Hi all, my name's Ethan and I'm an undergraduate physics student conducting research on work functions this summer. I've been trying to understand the graphs of N(E) or N'(E) vs. auger electron energy for several days now, but I can't find in the literature what exactly N(E) or N'(E) are. I've...
Hey all, I'm new here. I was just looking at a problem set from Florida Atlantic University from 2010 (http://www.physics.fau.edu/~cbeetle/Fall10/PHZ5115/Assignments/pset3.pdf) and it looks absolutely ridiculous. I'm taking a course now as a sophomore called "Mathematical Methods in the Physical...
