Description:
(abstract)Photoluminescence Excitation spectroscopy (PLE) is crucial in understanding materials photo- physics, which play an important role in devices design and optimization. Unfortunately, PLE is handicapped by the diffraction limit when addressing the nanometric properties of matter, and no equivalent near-field spectroscopy has emerged so far. By coincidentally measuring the energy loss of a relativistic electron on optical materials (plasmonic nanoparticles, luminescent 2D materials) and their subsequent light emission, we demonstrate the possibility of making cathodolumines- cence excitation spectroscopy, a natural counterpart of PLE with a resolution better than 10 nm. The information retrieved should prove unvaluable for the understanding materials optics at the nanometer scale.
