Abstract

Liquid benzene, toluene, and 2-ethyl naphthalene were excited at room temperature with intense electron beams (average energies, 4-36 keV) and in all cases the scintillation emission was a structureless band attributed to excimers. A comparison is made of the emission spectra obtained this way with the photofluorescence spectra and those obtained under x-ray excitation. Ion recombination is believed to be the origin of the excimeric emission under electron bombardment. The conclusion is drawn that the emission from organic liquids is strongly dependent upon the mode and intensity of excitation.
