Abstract. On the basis of the currents induced by electron fluxes in the Scintillating Fibre Detector (SFD) onboard the EQUATOR-S satellite launched on 2 December 1997, an in-situ acceleration of radiation belt electrons is found to possibly contribute to the increase of the flux of electrons with energies greater than 400 keV. The data acquired between 16 December 1997 and 30 April 1998 on the 500–67300 km, 4° inclination EQUATOR-S orbit show that the increase of the energetic electron flux corresponds to the enhanced geomagnetic activity measured through the Dst index.Key words. Magnetospheric physics (energetic particles · trapped; storms and substorms; instruments and techniques)

In a crystalline solid the regular arrangement of the lattice structure influences the interaction of the incident beam with the specimen, leading to changes in both the transmitted and backscattered signals when the angle of incidence of the beam to the specimen is changed. For the simplest case the electron flux inside the specimen can be visualized as the sum of two, standing wave distributions of electrons (Fig. 1). Bloch wave 1 is concentrated mainly between the atom rows and so only interacts weakly with them. It is therefore transmitted well and backscattered weakly. Bloch wave 2 is concentrated on the line of atom centers and is therefore transmitted poorly and backscattered strongly. The ratio of the excitation of wave 1 to wave 2 varies with the angle between the incident beam and the crystal structure.

Anisotropy of damage productions in crystals due to high energy electron bombardment are caused from two different origins. One is an anisotropic displacement threshold energy, and the other is an anisotropic distribution of electron flux near the atomic rows in crystals due to the electron channeling effect. By the n-beam dynamical calculations for germanium and molybdenum we have shown that electron flux at the atomic positions are from ∽4 to ∽7 times larger than the mean incident flux for the principal zone axis directions of incident 1 MeV electron beams, and concluded that such a locally increased electron flux results in an enhanced damage production. The present paper reports the experimental evidence for the enhanced damage production due to the locally increased electron flux and also the results of measurements of the displacement threshold energies for the <100>,<110> and <111> directions in molybdenum crystals by using a high voltage electron microscope.
