Secondary electrons
text:
Secondary electrons are electrons generated as ionization products. They are called 'secondary' because they are generated by other radiation. This radiation can be in the form of ions, electrons, or photons with sufficiently high energy, i.e. exceeding the ionization potential. Photoelectrons can be considered an example of secondary electrons where the primary radiation are photons; in some discussions photoelectrons with higher energy (>50 eV) are still considered "primary" while the electron
