Effect of Polymer Encapsulation on the Mechanoluminescence of Mn²⁺-Doped CaZnOS.

ABSTRACT: Rare earth and transition metal ion-doped CaZnOS has garnered significant attention for its exceptional mechanoluminescence (ML) performance under mild mechanical stimuli and its capability for multicolor emissions. Since powdered phosphors are not directly usable, they require encapsulation within with polymers to create stable structures. This study investigates Mn²⁺-doped CaZnOS (CaZnOS:Mn²⁺) as the ML phosphor, optimizing its performance by varying the Mn²⁺ content, resulting in bright orange-red emissions from the d-d transitions of the Mn²⁺ activator. A quantum efficiency of 59.08% was achieved through the self-sensitization of the matrix lattice and energy transfer to the Mn²⁺ luminescent centers. The enhancement in ML due to Mn
