1. Origins of luminescence

First of all, we'll look at the origins of the luminescence process, sometimes called fluorescence.

1.1 Electron-matter interactions

Two types of interaction are produced when an electron beam penetrates a solid sample [P 865] and figure 1 :

Elastic electron-core interactions that deviate the trajectory of incident electrons....
