Cathodoluminescence

ID: cathodoluminescence

Cathodoluminescence (CL) is a phenomenon in which materials emit light (luminesce) when they are bombarded with electrons. This process is commonly observed in various materials including semiconductors, minerals, and some types of glasses. The basic principle of cathodoluminescence involves the excitation of electrons in a material by a focused beam of high-energy electrons.
