Abstract
A study is made of the cascade process, which describes the energy loss and multiplication of highly non-equilibrium secondary electrons and holes in crystalline platinum irradiated by low-energy electrons. The pair-creation scattering rates are evaluated in the framework of statistical model that takes into account the electron band structure of platinum. Kinetic equations for the excited electron and hole energy distributions are solved numerically in the isotropic scattering approximation for some primary (excitation) energies E p that do not exceed the plasma energy E F+ ℏω pl.
