Interfacial Interaction Modulated Radiation Defects for Self-Charging Persistent Mechanoluminescence.

Self-charging persistent mechanoluminescence (SC-PML) is of particular interest for stress sensing/visualization applications, as it not only notably extends the time window available for stress observation, but also avoids the pre-charging with great convenience. However, the intrinsic physical principles of the SC-PML are still unclear. Herein, a phosphor SrLiMg(PO): Dy with an initially clean trap structure is reported to exhibit repeatable SC-PML up to 30 s when incorporated into a flexible polydimethylsiloxane.

Berberine hydrochloride delays citrus sour rot mainly by disrupting carbohydrate and energy metabolism of Geotrichum citri-aurantii spores.

Citrus sour rot is a common postharvest citrus disease caused by Geotrichum citri-aurantiiti, which has led to enormous economic losses, particularly during rainy seasons. In this study, we aimed to clarify the impact of berberine hydrochloride (BH), the hydrochloride form of an isoquinoline alkaloid, on the control efficiency of citrus sour rot and its antifungal mode against G. citri-aurantii.

Enhancement of the NIR Emission of Cr-Yb Co-doped LaGaGeO Phosphors by Doping Nd Ions via Efficient Energy Transfer for NIR Spectroscopy Regulation.

The efficient energy transfer in LaGaGeO:Cr, Yb/Nd and LaGaGeO:Cr, Yb, Nd was investigated in detail. In this phosphor, Cr acts as the energy absorber (250-700 nm) to sensitize Yb/Nd in LaGaGeO. Under excitation at 418 nm, LaGaGeO:Cr, Yb phosphors exhibited a broad emission band in the near-infrared (NIR) region located at 976 nm (LaGaGeO:Cr, Nd at 1056 nm), which was attributed to the F-F transition of the Yb ions (F → I transition of Nd).
