Abstract:Energy dispersive X-Ray detectors are among the most common tools installed on scanning electron microscopes and, as they are sensitive to light, they can be used to get panchromatic cathodoluminescence information. This article presents practical considerations about the parameters to choose to obtain a good cathodoluminescence signal on a silicon drift detector. Probe current is the most important but other parameters of electron microscope and energy dispersive X-Ray detector are also explored. Filament bri… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
