=================================================================================

The spatial resolution of cathodoluminescence (CL) technique only depends on minority carrier diffusion length [1] if no electric field is built in the local irradiation region. However, the electron beam can generate a local electrical potential that causes an internal current flow and then affects the resolution, for instance, in some structures such as p-n junctions and grain boundaries.

The reported resolution of cathodoluminescence technique is 10 nm for InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well structures [2].
