Abstract

Long-term processes of cathodoluminescence degradation of thin film phosphors Zn2SiO4:Ti and Zn2GeO4:Mn were investigated in a wide range of e-beam energies, current and power densities. The time dependencies describing the decreasing of emission intensity have been found. At higher current densities of e-beam irradiation, the specific behavior of long-term degradation processes was observed, which is characterized by rapid initial degradation and a slower long term decrease. The most probable mechanisms are proposed for long-term processes of degradation in the investigated phosphors.
