What
is Cathodoluminescence “CL”
lElectron bombardment of materials can cause emission of light.
This is known as Cathodoluminescence “CL”.
lPresent day examples are televisions, computer terminals, plasma displays,
oscilloscopes and electron microscope fluorescent screens.
lWith the developments of
electron optical instruments in recent decades, CL has become an an important
characterization technique for the analysis of materials which luminesce.
