The condensed history Monte Carlo transport code SANd-smcapsy-smcapsL is used to calculate the electron backscattering coefficients and energy distributions for thin ZnS and PbS films. The backscattering coefficients from normally incident 20-, 30-, and 40-keV electrons on various thickness films are compared with experimental data and an empirically derived fitting formula. The agreement between our calculations and the experimental data where available is within 10%. However, for some of the thinnest films, is a somewhat larger discrepancy between the empirical and either the Monte Carlo or experimental results.
