This lecture covers the general features of beam-matter interactions, focusing on electromagnetic and electron beams. It discusses the macroscopic and microscopic levels of interactions, thermal and chemical effects, atomic displacements, and the linear energy transfer. The lecture also explores matter emission mechanisms, including X-ray and Auger electron emissions, and the operation of semiconductor solid detectors in electron microscopy.
