in secondary-ion mass spectrometry
synonym: secondary-electron emission coefficient
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09423
Number of electrons emitted from a sample divided by the number of particles incident upon the sample surface.
Note: Secondary-electron yield is sometimes given for a particular type of energetic incident particle such as \(\ce{Ar+}\).
