We have performed Monte-Carlo simulations of slow electrons impinging on semi-infinite aluminum and copper in the energy range 0.5–4 keV. We present results for the backscattering coefficients, mean penetration depths and stopping profiles. Our results for the backscattering coefficients agree well with the experimental data within the limits of the statistical accuracy. The slight discrepancy between simulated and experimental results regarding the mean penetration depth is discussed.
