{wiki=Electron-stimulated_luminescence}
Electron-stimulated luminescence (ESL) is a phenomenon where specific materials emit light when they are bombarded with electrons. This effect occurs as a result of the interaction between the incoming electrons and the electrons in the material. When the high-energy electrons collide with the atoms in the material, they can excite electronic states, leading to the emission of photons as the excited electrons return to their ground state.
