What Does TEY Stand For?

TEY stands for Total Electron Yield

Total Electron Yield (TEY) is a measurement technique used to quantify the total number of secondary electrons emitted from a material when it is subjected to incident radiation, such as photons or electrons. It provides insights into the surface properties and electronic states of materials, making it a valuable tool in fields such as surface science, materials characterization, and semiconductor research. TEY is particularly useful for studying thin films, nanostructures, and the electronic behavior of new materials at the microscopic level.
