Abstract
We have revealed that Ca2MgSi2O7:Eu micro-particles emits green light under the application of a mechanical stress, 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 a green light of ML emission can be seen by the naked eye when pressing the sample. Furthermore, using lab-made AFM-ML system, the ML of single micro-particle under the application of micro force (10 μN) has been investigated.
