Abstract
The range of 1-10 kev electrons in metals and phosphors has been measured by recording the light output as a function of energy from a sample consisting of a metallic layer deposited on a transparent phosphor layer. The measurements lead to the development of the following range-energy expression: where , , , and , , , have their customary meaning. This differs from the usual range expression in the dependency of on . Usually is assumed to be independent of material. This dependency can be justified on the basis of Bethe's theory of electron stopping power.
