Abstract

The principles for the application of methods of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were developed in this work. A functional scheme for a diagnostic OSL attachment for the investigation of the local properties and distribution parameters of optically active structure complexes in wide-gap dosimeter materials was proposed. Analysis of the dependencies of OSL on the variation in the size of regions that are irradiated with electrons was conducted with anion-defective α-Al 2 O 3 singlecrystals as an example. The possibility of OSL diagnostics of the surface of solid luminescent media and functional matrices with a microscale spatial resolution was shown.
