Abstract

We have discovered that Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu, SrCaMgSi2O7:Eu and Ca2MgSi2O7:Eu phosphors emit blue, blue-greenish and green light under the application of a mechanical stress respectively, called as mechanoluminescence (ML). The ML showed a similar spectrum as photoluminescence (PL), which indicated that ML is emitted from the same center of Eu2+ ions as PL. Such bright lights of ML emission can be observed by the naked eye when pressing these samples.
