Energy yield of fluorescence of complex organic compounds upon electron excitation

With use of electron energy loss spectra for vapors of anthracene, perylene, 1,4di(2,5-phenyloxazolyl)] benzene, and paratherphenyl the energy yields of fluorescence are calculated for electron collision. It is shown that they are considerably smaller than those for optical excitation conditions. Deceased Institute of Molecular and Atomic Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, 70, F.
