Comparison of radiation-induced effects in chemical compounds and mixtures caused by electron beams with energies higher than 10 keV

The following interaction processes of electron beams (energy above 10 keV) with chemical compounds and mixtures are investigated: electron scattering, bremsstrahlung, stopping power. Relations are formulated for these interaction processes in order to calculate the relative cross sections of energy transfer processes of electron beams and their energy losses, respectively, as well as to enable quantitative comparisons with other materials. These equivalence relations allow to determine the energy absorption and by this to compare radiation-induced effects in materials with the same or different elementary composition
