Mechanoluminescence, thermoluminescence, optically stimulated luminescence and photoluminescence in SrAl₂O₄:Eu micro- and nanophosphors: effect of particle size and annealing in different atmospheres

Abstract

Mechanoluminescence set up for ML measurements using dynamic compressive load.

Unveiling Hidden Prints: Optically stimulated luminescence for latent fingerprint detection

“…Smaller powder sizes are associated with better latent fingerprint development since adhesion is enhanced [ 34 ]. However, OSL efficiency is known to decrease with particle size, as it heavily depends on crystalline order [ 35 , 36 ]. Moreover, particle size also affects the safety of operators.…”
