| Electron backscatter is primarily the result of the electrostatic interaction of incident electrons with the Coulombic field of the atom (essentially the positive charge of the nucleus), which in turn is produced by the total charge of the protons (partially modified by the screening effect of the inner orbital electrons), which is related to the number of each, that is Z. At this intensity, the electric field of alaser pulse that is shined on an atom is strong enough to compete for electrons with the nucleus's electric attraction, called the coulombic field. |
