Article Abstract
Optical anti-counterfeiting and encryption have become a hotspot in information security. However, the advanced optical anti-counterfeiting technology still suffers from low security by single-luminescent mode. Herein, we present a novel multi-mode anti-counterfeiting strategy based on KLuSiO: Tb/Bi (KLSO: Tb/Bi) phosphors for the first time. KLSO not only provides various lattice sites for Bi ions occupying to achieve tunable luminescence but can also be non-equivalently substituted by Tb ions to produce persistent or thermo-luminescence. Furthermore, in the pattern "8888" constructed by the mixture of polyacrylic acid (PAA) with KLSO: Tb/Bi phosphors, we selectively trigger the three luminescent modes of Bi and Tb ions to realize the design of differential display in the fields of thermal response, time resolution, and luminescence color for optical anti-counterfeiting. The differentiated display can only be presented under specific multi-stimuli response, which further improves the security of information. Our work provides a new insight for designing advanced materials and can be expected to inspire future studies to explore optical anti-counterfeiting technology.

The synergistic effect of various ions with optical properties is an important method to regulate the Er ion upconversion luminescence process. However, the energy processes between them are complicated and difficult to separate, and it is challenging to clarify the results of each process when multiple ions are co-doped. Herein, a series of NaYF:Er were synthesized by the low-temperature combustion method, and the luminescence color of Er ions was modulated by doping Yb ions and Tm ions.

Time crystals are unexpected states of matter that spontaneously break time-translation symmetry either in a discrete or continuous manner. However, spatially mesoscale space-time crystals that break both space and time symmetries have not been reported. Here we report a continuous space-time crystal in a nematic liquid crystal driven by ambient-power, constant-intensity unstructured light.

Quantum dots (QDs) have garnered significant attention for their unique size-dependent optical and electronic properties, enabling their widespread use in applications ranging from high-efficiency photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes to biomedical imaging and quantum computing. Their tunable emission, high photo-stability, and ease of surface modification make them ideal candidates for precision nanotechnology applications. In this work, we explore a novel and rapidly emerging application of QDs in hardware security through the development of Quantum Dot-based Physical Unclonable Functions (QD-PUFs).
