Spatial yield spectra have been calculated for electron energy degradation into molecular nitrogen gas using a Monte Carlo method for 0.1- to 5.0-keV incident electrons. These spectra contain the spatial yield information about the electron degradation process and can be employed to calculate a 'yield' for any inelastic state at any position in the medium. Because of the spectrum's useful nature and simple characteristics, the three-variable spatial yield spectrum U (E, z, E0) is analytically represented as well. This analytic form can then be easily applied to atmospheric and laboratory problems dealing with energetic electron degradation.
