What is Cathodoluminescence? Plus how to add it to your SEM/TEM/STEM

Cathodoluminescence (CL) is a technique for characterising composition, optical and electronic properties with data that correlates with morphology, micro-structure, composition and chemistry at the nanoscale.

Using SEM-based Cathodoluminescence to Study Light Emission at Nanoscale Spatial Resolution

How cathodoluminescence can be used to study the emission patterns of nitride semiconductor micropillars for microLEDs in displays, including wearable devices.

Studying Crystal Orientation in Geology with Cathodoluminescence Polarisation-Filtered Spectrum Imaging

Cathodoluminescence can be used to study crystal structure orientation - in this example we look at how it can be used on a geological sample.

Analysing Ultra-Wide Bandgap (UWBG) Semiconductors with Cathodoluminescence (CL)

Map defect distribution and variations for process development of materials for electronic / optoelectronic devices. CL is ideal for materials not suitable for photoluminescence spectroscopy.

SEM-Based Cathodoluminescence in Geology and Geoscience

It's now much easier to achieve high quality results with SEM-based cathodoluminescence, with the new Gatan Monarc. This has valuable applications in geology and geoscience, for rocks and minerals analysis.
