Gucsik A. (Ed.) Cathodoluminescence and its Application in the Planetary Sciences

Springer, 2009. — 168 p.
Cathodoluminescence microscopy/spectroscopy is a powerful technique providing detailed information on the shock metamorphism of target rocks, biosignatures of meteorites and mineralogy of the pre-solar grains. Moreover, it can be used as an in-situ method to classify the solid-atmospheric-liquid interactions on the surface of Mars.Physical principles of cathodoluminescence (CL) and its applications in geosciences
