Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) materials, enabling energy storage by capturing of
charge carriers and then the energy conversion to light via photostimulation, can find many …

Abstract Bismuth cations (eg, Bi3+, Bi2+) are very promising non‐rare‐earth activators in
persistent luminescence (PersL) materials. Recently, much work has been devoted to …

Extensive research has been conducted on visible-light and longer-wavelength infrared-
light storage phosphors, which are utilized as promising rewritable memory media for optical …

Abstract LaNbO 4: 1.0% Bi 3+/x% Ln 3+(Ln= Eu, Tb, Dy, Sm) phosphors, which can emit
both emissions of Bi 3+ and Ln 3+ ions, were prepared by a solid-state reaction technology …

Non-contact remote optical thermometers as a significant technique have been extensively
developed. However, it is still a challenge to design new Bismuth-doped phosphor materials …

Dual-excitation and dual-emission Y 4 GeO 8: Bi 3+, Sm 3+ phosphors were manufactured
by traditional solid-phase sintering technique. The X-ray diffraction, morphology …

Abstract Herein, YNbO 4 (YNO): Bi 3+, Ln 3+(Ln= Dy, Eu) phosphors were manufactured
though high-temperature solid-phase reaction. Their structural properties, optical …

Trivalent bismuth (Bi3+) has been regarded as a favorable emitting center since it can give
off light of different wavelengths from ultraviolet (UV) to red in different host materials. These …

Current ultraviolet (UV) light sources are dominated by blacklights that contain mercury
vapor. Improper disposal or accidental breakage of these lamps can lead to serious …

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