“…As the acceleration voltage increases from 4 to 9 kV, the CL emission intensity of KBaScSi 2 O 7 rises up smoothly, and there is no sudden decrease in the intensity caused by the voltage increase. Such a phenomenon can be explained by the electron penetration depth calculated by the following empirical formula A is the relative atomic mass or molecular weight of the material, ρ is the bulk density of the phosphor, Z is the atomic number, and E is the acceleration voltage (eV) . For KBaScSi 2 O 7 :Ce 3+ phosphor, A = 389.5480, Z = 180, ρ = 3.9618 g/cm 3 , the calculated penetration depths at 4, 6, and 8 kV are 36.95, 150.81, and 409.04 nm, accordingly.…”
