Secondary electrons are the result of a highly energized beam of electrons striking a material
and causing atoms in the material to emit energy in the form of electrons rather than photons.
As a large portion of secondary electrons are emitted from the surface of a material in addition to its bulk they are good resources for obtaining information about atomic surface structure.
"Existing secondary electron image simulation methods had to be extended to take into account contributions from valence orbitals in the material,
These experiments were coupled with careful secondary electron image simulations, density functional theory calculations, and aberration-corrected high resolution transmission electron microscopy."
