Abstract
The surface roughness effect on the secondary electron yield, as well as the energy and angular distributions of emitted electrons, is investigated using a direct Monte Carlo simulation of the secondary electron emission from aluminum with a sinusoidal ripple surface. By introducing the roughness into the calculation, the electron yield for normal incidence increases. A low-energy shift of the energy distribution and an angular distribution, being different from the cosine distribution are calculated.
