Hi Jens,
 
many Monte Carlo programs can calculate backscatter coefficients, or backscatter yields.
 
I have a program from David Joy and it gives backscatter yield. The defaults are all pure elements.
 
There is are programs free on the web eg CASINO from Raynald GAUVIN.

I'm pretty sure it is free to download and it should do backscatter yield for complex materials.

I recall you can make multi-layers of multi-element materials.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ron

Dear all.

Do anybody have a method of calculating the electron backscattering
coefficients of complex minerals?

Cheers, Jens.
