Most simulation methods in the literature for the calculation of ionization depth distributions U(qz) in electron probe microanalysis neglect energy straggling. In this work, a new Monte Carlo simulation method was applied to the calculation U(qz) curves. This method is based on the recently develop

β¦ Synopsis
The statistical-weights Monte Carlo program of Cumpson for the calculation of depth distribution functions (DDF) has been extended in order to allow faster operation by use of a compiled language, C+ + , and the simulation of multilayer structures. The simulation of Auger electrons originating from a homogeneously distributed trace impurity has been performed for a number of thin Γlms of di β erent thickness and atomic numbers on substrates of di β erent atomic number and of semi-inΓnite thickness. The DDFs from bulk copper and gold samples and double and trilayer structures of carbon, copper and gold are presented. In both the bi-and trilayer structures it is found that the gradients of the DDF seem to switch fairly abruptly between the characteristics for each element at the boundary.
