A comprehensive study of mechanoluminscence: a review
摘要
Mechanoluminescence (ML) refers to the many processes in which light is emitted as a result of applying mechanical energy to solids. This ML effect is employed extensively in the study of solid deformation and fracture. This approach has many intriguing possibilities, including the identification of cracks in solids and the mechanical activation of different traps inside those materials. In this paper ML characteristics of Ba3Si6O12N2: Tb3+, ZnS:Mn, SrZrO3:Ce,CaZr(PO4)2:Eu2+, CdS/ZnS-doped PVDF semiconducting sulfide-doped polymer nanocomposites with reference to their behaviour towards applied load, height from which the load is released, variation of dopant was reviewed. The phosphor Ba3Si6O12N2: Tb3+ was prepared by two-stage solid-state reaction method and was confirmed by X-Ray diffraction Technique (XRD) where as chemical co-precipitation method was adopted for the synthesis of PVDF + CdS/ZnS. This review investigates the growing potential of Mechanoluminescence in diverse scientific and technological fields.
