Persistent luminescence (PL) is a distinctive optical phenomenon with long‐lasting afterglow
emissions after the cessation of excitation, thus emerging huge prospects in the applications …

The synthesis of lanthanide-activated phosphors is pertinent to many emerging applications,
ranging from high-resolution luminescence imaging to next-generation volumetric full-color …

Visible light is a universal and user‐friendly excitation source; however, its use to generate
persistent luminescence (PersL) in materials remains a huge challenge. Herein, the concept …

The aim of this review is to present the progress in preparing phosphorescent particles
based on the reported research. We highlight the recent progress on SrAl 2 O 4: Eu, Dy …

Glow‐in‐the‐dark materials have been around for a long time. While formerly materials had
to be mixed with radioactive elements to achieve a sufficiently long and bright afterglow …

There are various routes of luminescence quenching such as multi-phonon relaxation from
excited states to lower energy states, energy migration to killer sites, and radiation less …

Laser excitation and x-ray spectroscopy are combined to settle a long-standing question in
persistent luminescence. A reversible electron transfer is demonstrated, controlled by light …

Ever since the discovery of SrAl2O4: Eu, Dy persistent afterglow material, that can
intensively glow up to 20 h, the mechanism of long-lasting luminescence has been a …

In this paper, the structural and luminescence properties of Eu 3+-doped SrAl 12 O 19
nanophosphors are discussed. A series of SrAl 12 O 19: xEu 3+(x= 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 …

Abstract SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ (SAED) is one of the most popular materials for information
storage and night display applications because it has a wide excitation range and long …
