The motion of keV electrons in a film of solid argon and the depth distribution of ionizations and excitations are studied using a Monte Carlo simulation. This method does not only allow for accurate inclusion of individual cross sections but also for easy inclusion of finite size effects. We have analyzed the effect of the substrate on electron trajectories and found an important enhancement of the number of electron–hole pairs and excitons produced near the interface by electrons reflected from heavy substrates. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
