Fracto- mechanoluminescence of sugar crystals measured with different techniques

Principles, properties, and sensing applications of mechanoluminescence materials

“…64 In addition, Jha et al measured the ML and its properties of sugar crystals from the aspects of static loading, pulse excitation and pulse induction, which laid a foundation for the study of dynamic ML pads. 65 Ding et al conducted an in-depth study on ultrasound induced ML, and realized a novel remote monitoring method of temperature measurement by doping Er 3+ into ML material CaZnOS. 66 Using the fluorescence intensity ratio of 2 H 11/2 , 4 S 3/2 -4 I 15/2 transitions of Er 3+ , temperature mapping can be performed with an absolute sensitivity of 0.003 K À1 under physiological conditions.…”

Molten Salt Shielded Synthesis of Monodisperse Layered CaZnOS‐Based Semiconductors for Piezophotonic and X‐Ray Detection Applications

“…[11][12][13][14] Many materials discovered in nature provide the capability to emit light in response to dynamic forces/pressures, whether natural or man-made, such as quartz and sugar. [15,16] There are two categories of ML materials systems: organics and inorganics; [17,18] however, most of the current organic ML materials emit photons by releasing energy from the breaking of chemical bonds, resulting in a poor recovery, or requiring recrystallization to reproduce the light emitting process. Inorganic ML materials can be divided into insulators and semiconductors.…”
