What Does OSEE Stand For?

OSEE stands for Optically Stimulated Electron Emission

Optically Stimulated Electron Emission (OSEE) is a phenomenon in which electrons are emitted from a material when it is exposed to optical radiation, typically in the form of light. This process occurs when the absorbed photons excite electrons, enabling them to overcome binding energies and escape from the surface of the material. OSEE is utilized in various applications, including photodetectors, electron sources for imaging, and surface analysis techniques, offering insights into material properties and behaviors under optical stimulation.
