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 …

In 1996, Matsuzawa et al. reported on the extremely long-lasting afterglow of SrAl2O4: Eu2+
codoped with Dy3+ ions, which was more than 10-times brighter than the previously widely …

X‐ray imaging has received sustained attention for healthcare diagnostics and
nondestructive inspection. To develop photonic materials with tunable photophysical …

Unlike afterglow phosphors, transparent crystals free of scattering issues hold great potential
in applications such as volumetric displays and three‐dimensional encryption. Here, a …

Persistent luminescence (PersL) and photostimulated luminescence (PSL) materials exhibit
fascinating optical properties originating from energy harvesting and controllable release …

Mechanoluminescence (ML) is a classical optical phenomenon that is induced by
mechanical stimulus, and it can be applied to stress sensors, imaging, self‐powered …

McKeever gives us a comprehensive survey of thermoluminescence, an important, versatile,
and widely-used experimental technique. Bringing together previously isolated specialized …

In this book, the authors give an up-to-date account of thermoluminescence (TL) and other
thermally stimulated phenomena. Although most recent experimental results of TL in …

Several methods are known for the evaluation of the main kinetic parameters related to a
thermoluminescence (TL) curve: namely, the activation energy, the pre-exponential factor …

This second edition of the Handbook of Thermoluminescence enlarges on all the subjects
which were treated in the first edition and adds further arguments, including the theory of …
