Monte Carlo method

Monte Carlo method

"Monte Carlo method" is a comprehensive term of random statistical sampling techniques that are used to solve a deterministic or probabilistic problem. This method is used for the simulation of the process where the incident electrons are scattered and spread within a specimen. As the energy of the incident electron beam is larger, the spread of the incident electrons is larger. As the atomic number and density are larger, the spread of the incident electrons is smaller, For example, Monte Carlo method is effectively used to obtain the atomic number effect in quantitative analysis in characteristic X-ray spectroscopy.
