This letter reports a strong yellow emission of Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) mixed with ZnS:Ag,Cl under electron excitation. The penetration depths of electron of 1keV and photon of 2.7eV in YAG:Ce were estimated to be approximately 1450Å and 4.65mm, respectively. Deeper penetration of blue light from ZnS:Ag,Cl helps to exc…
