Abstract

Intense triboluminescence has been observed in rare-earth-doped aluminosilicates such as BaAl2Si2O8and SrAl2Si2O8doped with Eu2+, Tb3+, or Dy3+. The triboluminescence is caused by the excitation of and emission from rare-earth ions doped in the crystals. A discrepancy in the wavelength of maximum emission intensity between triboluminescence and photoluminescence spectra is observed for the 4f65d-4f7 transition of Eu2+, whereas the peak positions and the relative intensities of emission lines in triboluminescence and photoluminescence spectra are almost the same as each other for the 4f-4f transitions of Th3+ and Dy3+. This is because the 5d levels, which are more significantly affected by ligand fields than the 4f levels, contribute to the transition of Eu2+. It is thought that the difference in local environment around the Eu2+ between on the fractured surface and within the bulk brings about the discrepancy between triboluminescence and photoluminescence spectra
