“…1,6,8,9 In numerous studies, the sequential application of mechanical force and heat was also investigated. 29,30,32,34,36,39,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] In a typical sequence, the solid state structure and photoluminescence color are first changed by mechanical grinding, pressing or shearing the MRL material at room temperature (r.t.); in many cases this mechanically induced state is metastable and subsequent heating causes the recovery of the initial assembly and photoluminescence color. 29,30,32,34,36,39,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] Interestingly, the effects resulting from exposing MRL materials to mechanical stimulation or thermal treatment were so far exclusively studied separately or sequentially, whereas the simultaneous exposure of MRL materials to mechanical and thermal stimulation has remained unexplored.…”
