Measurement of the triboluminescent properties for europium and samarium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium

Triboluminescence (TL) is the emission of cold light that is created when materials are fractured.

Description
Summary:Triboluminescence (TL) is the emission of cold light that is created when materials are fractured. Europium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium (EuD 4 TEA) is one of the brightest triboluminescent materials that exist. In 2010, efforts began to introduce additives to the synthesis to increase the triboluminescent yield of EuD 4 TEA. To date, this research has increased the overall emission yield of EuD 4 TEA by nearly two fold. This paper explores the effects of adding samarium to EuD 4 TEA. The effects of this additive on the decay time and photoluminescent emission spectra are reported. In addition, the effects of europium on samarium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium are also determined. The effects of europium on the decay time and photoluminescent emission spectra are also reported. Results will show that both additives have an adverse effect on the triboluminescent emission yield.
