The Malter effect, also known as the Malter phenomenon, refers to the observed increase in the yield of electrons from a metallic surface during the excitation with ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly in the context of secondary electron emission in materials like semiconductors and metals. This effect can occur when the incident radiation induces the emission of secondary electrons, which are electrons emitted from a material after being struck by energetic particles or photons.
