Monte Carlo simulation was used to calculate the backscattering coefficient and the energy deposition profiles for electrons of tens of keV impinging on an isotropic homogeneous material. The material is taken as composed by atoms of different elements. Expressions fitting the obtained energy dissipation curves and backscattering coefficients are presented, showing better adjustement than usual literature expressions.
