Abstract
We are beginning projects to validate the physics models used for interpretation of electron microscopy images. In one, we will measure electron yields and energy spectra from cleaned well-characterized samples subjected to electron bombardment inside of a spherical retarding field analyzer in ultra-high vacuum. In another, we will measure the same features, lithographically patterned on free-standing Si membranes, with measurement techniques that differ in their interaction physics. A modeling project will compare measurement results with simulations using existing and new models. Good models should predict the observed yields and produce agreement among measurement techniques.Proceedings Title
