Prelimary Data for Suppression of Secondary Electron yield

The multipactor effect is a discharge phenomenon which may occur when secondary electron emission (SEE) is in resonance with an electric field under certain vacuum conditions [1]. Liberated electrons will oscillate between two surfaces driven by a radio frequency (RF) field; this discharge cultivates and sustains itself by SEE through reoccurring impacts with the surface. This can lead to deterioration of vacuum RF electronics' performance [2]. To suppress the multipactor effect, the secondary electron yield (SEY) must be reduced.
