A mechanoluminescent material, ZnS:Mn,Li, with enhanced brightness for visualizing dental occlusion

Luminescence properties of a green-emitting mechanoluminescent phosphor CaSrGa4O8:xTb3+ without pre-excitation

“…Characterized by their linearity, sensitivity, repeatability, and ductility, ML materials efficiently harness mechanical energy, which is abundant in daily life. 1 Mechanoluminescent (ML) materials are stimulation-responsive materials, which can produce different detectable signals in rapid response to various external stimuli (including stretching, compression, bending, etc.). [2][3][4][5] In recent years, ML materials have shown broad application prospects in the elds of illumination display, 6 information anti-counterfeiting, 7 visual mechanical sensing, 8 structural defects monitoring, [9][10][11] and genetic detection, 12 and its potential application elds include damage detection, 13 self-diagnosis, 14 defect recording, 15 earthquake prediction, 16 etc., attracting widespread research interest.…”
