A method based on the continuous exposure of the electron beam of cathodoluminescence measurement was introduced to probe the aging characteristics of optoelectronic materials. The results show that in order to improve the degradation problem, the incorporation of beryllium content in II-VI compounds should be less than 10%. In addition, the authors demonstrate that cathodoluminescence image is a very powerful tool to reveal the generation of defects of an optoelectronic solid under external perturbation.[SDGs]SDG6Investigation of degradation in beryllium chalcogenide II-VI semiconductorsjournal article10.1063/1.23554602-s2.0-33748963288
