摘要: Abstract Observations of cathodoluminescence in ZnS single crystals using scanning transmission electron microscopy exhibit a dependence on crystal orientation indicating that about 20% the signal originates localized excitations. This figure can be explained terms energy transfer to valence excitations from energetic secondary electrons ejected inner shells. Similar effects may operate electron-beam-induced-conductivity images, X-ray production and other processes.
