Abstract

Recent photoemission experiments have discovered a highly
monochromatized secondary electron peak emitted from diamondoid
self-assembled monolayers on metal substrates. New experimental data and
simulation results are presented to show that a combination of negative
electron affinity and strong electron−phonon scattering is responsible
for this behavior. The simulation results are generated using a simple
Monte Carlo transport algorithm. The simulated spectra recreate the main
spectral features of the measured ones.
