    • Trapped photoelectrons during spacecraft charging in sunlight 

      Cahoy, K.; Lai, S. T. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-09)
      For a dielectric spacecraft charging in sunlight, the potentials are different on the sunlit and dark sides. Differential charging of spacecraft surfaces can trap low-energy electrons by means of potential wells and barriers. ...
