Abstract
Piezoelectric semiconductors (PSs) possess the physical properties of piezoelectric and semiconductor simultaneously. When a piezomagnetic (PM) material is added to the PS, the composite structures will exhibit the comprehensive mageto-electro-semiconductive (MES) coupling effects. In this paper, the propagation characteristics of shear horizontal (SH) waves in a multiferroic composite semiconductor structure are investigated, where a n-type PS thin plate is perfectly bonded to a semi-infinite PM substrate. Based on the three-dimensional macroscopic theory for PS and PM, the dispersion equations are derived analytically. Numerical examples are presented to study the effects of steady-state carrier density, cover thickness, and material properties on the phasevelocity and attenuation of SH wave systematically. The developments of various electromechanical fields through the thickness of the layers are discussed. The results show that initial electron concentration (n0) has an important effect on the distribution of most physical quantities such as displacement, stress, electric potential and electric polarization, but magnetic potential and magnetic flux density are insensitive to n0. The piezoelectric constant e15 and piezomagnetic constant f15 have different effects on the SH wave propagation and magnetic potential distribution. The theoretical results could be helpful for the analysis and design of PS-PM structures or related surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.

Abstract
Evolution has produced natural systems that generate motion and sense external stimuli at the micro- and nanoscales. At extremely small scales, the intricate motions and large deformations shown by these biosystems are due to a tipping balance between their structural compliance and the actuating force generated in them. Artificially mimicking such ingenious systems for scientific and engineering applications has been approached through the development and use of different smart materials mostly limited to microscale dimensions. To push the application range down to the nanoscale, we developed a material preparation process that yields a library of nanomagnetic elastomers with high magnetic particle concentrations. Through this process, we have realized a material with the highest magnetic-to-elastic force ratio, as is shown by an extensive mechanical and magnetic characterization of the materials. Furthermore, we have fabricated and actuated micro- and nanostructures mimicking cilia, demonstrating the extreme compliance and responsiveness of the developed materials.

Abstract
Endowing a single material with various types of luminescence, that is, exhibiting a simultaneous optical response to different stimuli, is vital in various fields. A photoluminescence (PL)- and mechanoluminescence (ML)-based multifunctional sensing platform is built by combining heterojunctioned ZnS/CaZnOS:Mn2+ mechano-photonic materials using a 3D-printing technique and fiber spinning. ML-active particles are embedded in micrometer-sized cellulose fibers for flexible optical devices capable of emitting light driven by mechanical force. Individually modified 3D-printed hard units that exhibit intense ML in response to mechanical deformation, such as impact and friction, are also fabricated. Importantly, they also allow low-pressure sensing up to ≈100 bar, a range previously inaccessible by any other optical sensing technique. Moreover, the developed optical manometer based on the PL of the materials demonstrates a superior high-pressure sensitivity of ≈6.20 nm GPa-1 . Using this sensing platform, four modes of temperature detection can be achieved: excitation-band spectral shifts, emission-band spectral shifts, bandwidth broadening, and lifetime shortening. This work supports the possibility of mass production of ML-active mechanical and optoelectronic parts integrated with scientific and industrial tools and apparatus.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescence (ML) materials present widespread applications. Empirically, modulation for a given ML material is achieved by application of programmed mechanical actuation with different amplitude, repetition velocity and frequency. However, to date modulation on the ML is very limited within several to a few hundred hertz low-frequency actuation range, due to the paucity of high-frequency mechanical excitation apparatus. The universality of temporal behavior and frequency response is an important aspect of ML phenomena, and serves as the impetus for much of its applications. Here, we push the study on ML into high-frequency range (∼250 kHz) by combining with piezoelectric actuators. Two representative ML ZnS:Mn and ZnS:Cu, Al phosphors were chosen as the research objects. Time-resolved ML of ZnS:Mn and ZnS:Cu, Al shows unrevealed frequency-dependent saturation and quenching, which is associated with the dynamic processes of traps. From the point of applications, this study sets the cut-off frequency for ML sensing. Moreover, by in-situ tuning the strain frequency, ZnS:Mn exhibits reversible frequency-induced broad red-shift into near-infrared range. These findings offer keen insight into the photophysics nature of ML and also broaden the physical modulation of ML by locally adjusting the excitation frequency.

Abstract
A beam-like structure of antisymmetric laminated multiferroic piezoelectric semiconductor (LMPS), which consists of two piezomagnetic (PM) and two piezoelectric semiconductor (PS) layers is proposed. The structure could be in pure flexure deformation under an applied magnetic field. Through this deformation mode and the induced polarization field through the magneto-electro-semiconductive (MES) coupling mechanism, the semiconducting properties of PS layers can be manipulated by the applied magnetic field. In order to better understand and quantitatively describe this deformation mode, the one-dimensional governing equations for the LMPS beam are developed based on the three-dimensional theory. The analytical solutions are then presented for the LMPS cantilever beam with open-circuit conditions. The multi-field coupling responses of the LMPS cantilever beam under the longitudinal magnetic field are investigated. Numerical results show that the amplitude of each physical quantity is proportional to the applied magnetic field, and the thickness ratio of the PS phase plays a significant role in the MES coupling behaviors of the LMPS beam. The proposed structure can be integrated into cement structures but also fabricated cement-based multiferroic PS composite materials and structures. It provides an important material and structure basis for developing structural health monitoring systems in the fields of civil and transportation infrastructures.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescent materials transform mechanical energy into visible light. Phenomena could prove to be advantageous to various next-generation monitoring systems employed in the fields of security and healthcare if the intrinsic mechanisms are fully understood. Scientific efforts are mainly hindered by the lack of equipment capable of controlled mechanical deformation and simultaneous collection of light emitted by the sample. This article describes an easily constructible material testing device (508 €) with an interchangeable test fixture and an integrated load cell made from readily available mechanical components and 3D printed parts. A commercial low-cost alternative to spectroscopic apparatus (200 €) has recently become available alongside a highly capable 16-bit CMOS camera intended for low light conditions (520 €). A highly modular prototype system with an overall cost much lower than commercial alternatives that provide less functionality could enable a larger portion of scientific personnel to contribute to a novel field of research.

Abstract
External manipulation of emission colour is of significance for scientific research and applications, however, the general stimulus-responsive colour modulation method requires both stringent control of microstructures and continously adjustment of particular stimuli conditions. Here, we introduce pathways to manipulate the kinetics of time evolution of both intensity and spectral characteristics of X-ray excited afterglow (XEA) by regioselective doping of lanthanide activators in core-shell nanostructures. Our work reported here reveals the following phenomena: 1. The XEA intensities of multiple lanthanide activators are significantly enhanced via incorporating interstitial Na+ ions inside the nanocrystal structure. 2. The XEA intensities of activators exhibit diverse decay rates in the core and the shell and can largely be tuned separately, which enables us to realize a series of core@shell NPs featuring distinct time-dependent afterglow colour evolution. 3. A core/multi-shell NP structure can be designed to simultaneously generate afterglow, upconversion and downshifting to realize multimode time-dependent multicolour evolutions. These findings can promote the development of superior XEA and plentiful spectral manipulation, opening up a broad range of applications ranging from multiplexed biosensing, to high-capacity information encryption, to multidimensional displays and to multifunctional optoelectronic devices. X-ray activated afterglow nanomaterials are desirable components for advanced optoelectronic applications. Here, the authors present pathways to modulate the stimulus-responsive color emissions in lanthanide-doped fluoride core-shell nanoparticles.

Abstract
Triboelectric nanogenerators have garnered significant attention as alternative power sources for wearable electronics owing to their simple structure, easy fabrication, low cost, and superior power output. In this study, a transparent, stretchable, and attachable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is built with an advanced power output using plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-gel. The PVC-gel exhibit very high negative triboelectric properties and electrically insulating PVC became an electrically active material. It is found that a single layer of PVC-gel can act as a dielectric and as a conducting layer. The PVC-gel based single layer of triboelectric nanogenerator (S-TENG) creates output signals of 24.7 V and 0.83 µA, i.e., a 20-fold enhancement in the output power compared to pristine PVC-based TENGs. In addition, the S-TENG can stably generate output voltage and current under stretching condition (80%). The S-TENG can be implemented as a tactile sensor that can sense position and pressure without combining multiple elements or electrode grid patterns. This study provides new applications of power sources and tactile sensors in wearable electronics.

Abstract
The related studies and applications of ZnS-based phosphorescent materials involve various aspects such as lighting, display, sensing, electronic signatures, and confidential information. Here, triboelectrification-induced electroluminescence (TIEL) of the ZnS:Cu due to the triboelectric leakage field is discovered via a gently horizontal sliding between a ZnS:Cu particle-doped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) film, whose intensity is positively correlated with the temperature, the doping ratio of ZnS:Cu, the pressure, and the frequency. It is also demonstrated that the TIEL mainly occurs inside the bulk film, where the ZnS:Cu phosphor particles can be polarized instantaneously by the leakage electric field of triboelectrification. The polarization will lead to a tilted energy band of the ZnS, resulting in an emitting of green light due to electrons detrapped into the conduction band and recombined with holes in the impurity state. This study not only reveals great fundamental physics for understanding of luminescence induced by a simple sliding between two triboelectric materials but also indicates another way for triboelectrification to be used in advanced optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The emergence of new applications, such as in artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and biotechnology, has driven the evolution of stress sensing technology. For these emerging applications, stretchability, remoteness, stress distribution, a multimodal nature, and biocompatibility are important performance characteristics of stress sensors. Mechanoluminescence (ML)-based stress sensing has attracted widespread attention because of its characteristics of remoteness and having a distributed response to mechanical stimuli as well as its great potential for stretchability, biocompatibility, and self-powering. In the past few decades, great progress has been made in the discovery of ML materials, analysis of mechanisms, design of devices, and exploration of applications. One can find that with this progress, the focus of ML research has shifted from the phenomenon in the earliest stage to materials and recently toward devices. At the present stage, while showing great prospects for advanced stress sensing applications, ML-based sensing still faces major challenges in material optimization, device design, and system integration.

Magnetically Induced Carrier Distribution in a Composite Rod of Piezoelectric Semiconductors and Piezomagnetics. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13143115. [PMID: 32668643 PMCID: PMC7412448 DOI: 10.3390/ma13143115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
In this work, we study the behavior of a composite rod consisting of a piezoelectric semiconductor layer and two piezomagnetic layers under an applied axial magnetic field. Based on the phenomenological theories of piezoelectric semiconductors and piezomagnetics, a one-dimensional model is developed from which an analytical solution is obtained. The explicit expressions of the coupled fields and the numerical results show that an axially applied magnetic field produces extensional deformation through piezomagnetic coupling, the extension then produces polarization through piezoelectric coupling, and the polarization then causes the redistribution of mobile charges. Thus, the composite rod exhibits a coupling between the applied magnetic field and carrier distribution through combined piezomagnetic and piezoelectric effects. The results have potential applications in piezotronics when magnetic fields are relevant.

Abstract
Trap-controlled mechanoluminescent (ML) materials characterized by reproducible mechanoluminescence (ML) after irradiation recharging have shown attractive prospects in applications including stress distribution visualization, stress-driven light sources, and anti-counterfeiting. However, these materials generally suffer from the difficulty of achieving non-decaying ML when subjected to continuous mechanical stimulation. Herein, we develop a trap-controlled reproducible ML material, Li2MgGeO4:Mn2+, and report its short-term non-decaying ML behavior. Investigation of trap properties suggests that the unique non-decaying ML behavior should arise from the deep traps existing in Li2MgGeO4:Mn2+, which provide electron replenishment for shallow traps that release small numbers of electrons during short-term cyclic friction. Our results are expected to provide a reference for the ultimate achievement of long-term non-decaying ML in such materials.

Abstract
Systematic control of the intermolecular pair-wise [4 + 4] photocycloaddition of a series of dysprosium phosphonates through fine-tuning of two different phosphonate ligands, one with a bidentate blocker and one with an anthracene antenna, both with alkyl substituents, reveals a size dependent rate. With bulky isopropyl on the diphosphonate blocker little response to UV light is observed. In contrast, compounds with ethyl which has less steric hindrance exhibit almost complete photocycloaddition. Interestingly, the alkyl substituents attached to anthracene monophosphonate have no evident effect on the reaction rate. Although no direct relationship can be found between the substitutions and the observed differences in field-induced single molecule magnetism, remarkable changes in magnetic dynamics are observed for complexes before and after the complete photocycloaddition reactions.

Abstract
With the fast development of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the last 30 years, semiconductor nanowires have been widely investigated in the areas of both electronics and optoelectronics. Among them, representatives of third generation semiconductors, such as ZnO and GaN, have relatively large spontaneous polarization along their longitudinal direction of the nanowires due to the asymmetric structure in their c-axis direction. Two-way or multiway couplings of piezoelectric, photoexcitation, and semiconductor properties have generated new research areas, such as piezotronics and piezo-phototronics. In this review, an in-depth discussion of the mechanisms and applications of nanowire-based piezotronics and piezo-phototronics is presented. Research on piezotronics and piezo-phototronics has drawn much attention since the effective manipulation of carrier transport, photoelectric properties, etc. through the application of simple mechanical stimuli and, conversely, since the design of new strain sensors based on the strain-induced change in semiconductor properties.

Abstract
The emission properties of lanthanide ions have been extensively investigated for their interesting physical processes and enormous applications. Conventional strategies have been used to modify luminescence properties such as temperature, pressure, and modifying components. However, the traditional methods are volatile and irreversible, which is unconducive for some optoelectronic applications. In this article, the electromechanical softness of the ferroelectric lattice is employed, which makes the strong coupling relationship between the electric field and the photonic properties of lanthanide ions. The emission intensity of the Tm3+:3H4-4H6 and 3F4-4H6 transitions was exceptionally enhanced by 2.6 and 3.2 times via ferroelectric polarization, respectively. Meanwhile, the luminescence response presents excellent reversibility and nonvolatility. This study provides a unique proposal for designing highly integrated stimuli-responsive photonic materials toward a variety of applications.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescence has attracted increasing attentions because it can convert the kinetic energy during human daily motions into light to be used in sensors and displays. However, its practical applications are still hindered by the weak brightness and limited color while under large forces. Herein, we developed novel piezoluminescent devices (PLDs) which could effectively emit visible light under low pressing forces through the stress-concentration and enhancing deformation on the basis of carefully-designed array structures. The emitting colors were also tunable by using bilayer luminescent film under different pressures. This work not only provides a new strategy to effectively harvest mechanical energy into light, but also presents a scalable, low-cost and color-tunable PLD which shows great potentials in various applications such as luminescent floors, shoes and stress-activated displays.

Abstract
We report an experimental study on the piezophotonic effect of gold and lead zirconate titanate (PbZrTiO3) nanoparticles (NPs) and also their core-shell nanostructures prepared by the laser ablation in liquid method. To obtain these NPs and composite materials, the targets were immersed in deionized water and a polymeric solution of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) under Nd:YAG laser pulses irradiation. Linear and nonlinear properties of these NPs were studied by optical spectroscopy and the Z-scan technique. Furthermore, tunable nonlinear properties of the NPs were measured under an external electric field under illumination to investigate the piezophotonic effect. Our results show that, at the interface of PZT and Au, due to the Schottky barrier, we have electron/hole recombination prevention, which leads to efficient enhancement in the nonlinear properties.

Abstract
Advanced fabrication methods must be developed for magnetic-polymeric particles, which are used in medical diagnostics, drug delivery, separation, and environmental remediation. The development of scalable fabrication processes that enables simultaneously tuning of diameters and compositions of magnetic-polymeric particles remains a major challenge. Here, we proposed the production of high-quality magnetic-composite particles through a universal method based on the in-fiber Plateau-Rayleigh instability of polymeric fibers. This method can simultaneously control the particle diameter, hybrid configuration, and functional properties. The diameter of magnetic-polymeric particles can be reproducibly tuned from ∼20 nm to 1.25 mm, a wide range unachievable by conventional solution methods. The final diameter was controlled by the inner/outer fiber diameter ratio. We further showed that the prepared magnetic-polymeric composite particles can be used for the highly efficient recovery of heavy metals (98.2% for Cd2+) and for the precise separation of immune cells (CD4+ T cells). Overall, the in-fiber manufacture method can become a universal technology for the scalable preparation of different types of magnetic-polymeric composite particles with diverse functionalities.

Abstract
Piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials have shown great potential for control of the optical process in emerging materials. There are three ways for them to impact on the optical process in various materials. They can act as external perturbations, such as ferroelectric gating and piezoelectric strain, to tune the optical properties of the materials and devices. Second, ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity as innate attributes may exist in some optoelectronic materials, which can couple with other functional features (e.g., semiconductor transport, photoexcitation, and photovoltaics) in the materials giving rise to unprecedented device characteristics. The last way is artificially introducing optical functionalities into ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials and devices, which provides an opportunity for investigating the intriguing interplay between the parameters (e.g., electric field, temperature, and strain) and the introduced optical properties. Here, the tuning strategies, fundamental mechanisms, and recent progress in ferroelectric and piezoelectric effects modulating the optical properties of a wide spectrum of materials, including lanthanide-doped phosphors, quantum dots, 2D materials, wurtzite-type semiconductors, and hybrid perovskites, are presented. Finally, the future outlook and challenges of this exciting field are suggested.

Abstract
This study reports on a self-powered mechanoluminescent flexible film that converts human movement into green, yellow, and white light that are visible to the naked eye. The film is simply a highly porous composite material that was prepared using a piezoelectric polymer and ZnS luminescent powders. The highly effective mechanoluminescence capabilities stem from both the film's porous structure and the strong interactions between poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and ZnS particles. The porous film's sensitivity helps the conversion of mechanical disturbances into electrical energies and induces the electroluminescence of ZnS particles. The particle-film interactions induced a high β-phase, which is the most effective piezoelectric phase, in the PVDF-HFP film. Similar to polymeric materials, the composite film is highly processable and can be written into arbitrary shapes or patterns using a pipette or stamping techniques. Finger rubbing or ultrasonication makes the mechanoluminescence patterns readable. This composite mechanoluminescent film provides high potential for future applications in electronic skins, smart electronics, and information encryption techniques.

Abstract
Mechanoluminescence (ML) is the non-thermal emission of light as a response to mechanical stimuli on a solid material. While this phenomenon has been observed for a long time when breaking certain materials, it is now being extensively explored, especially since the discovery of non-destructive ML upon elastic deformation. A great number of materials have already been identified as mechanoluminescent, but novel ones with colour tunability and improved sensitivity are still urgently needed. The physical origin of the phenomenon, which mainly involves the release of trapped carriers at defects with the help of stress, still remains unclear. This in turn hinders a deeper research, either theoretically or application oriented. In this review paper, we have tabulated the known ML compounds according to their structure prototypes based on the connectivity of anion polyhedra, highlighting structural features, such as framework distortion, layered structure, elastic anisotropy and microstructures, which are very relevant to the ML process. We then review the various proposed mechanisms and corresponding mathematical models. We comment on their contribution to a clearer understanding of the ML phenomenon and on the derived guidelines for improving properties of ML phosphors. Proven and potential applications of ML in various fields, such as stress field sensing, light sources, and sensing electric (magnetic) fields, are summarized. Finally, we point out the challenges and future directions in this active and emerging field of luminescence research.

Abstract
We demonstrate wide colour tunability of polydimethylsiloxane-based alternating-current-driven electroluminescent devices with intrinsically stretchable characteristics achieved by simply modulating the electrical frequency. By employing both a screen-printed emitting layer and frequency-dependent colour tuning of ZnS:Cu-based phosphors, we demonstrate various coloured patterned images in a single device. We also show enhanced colour-tuning performance by mixing multi-colour phosphors, which results in a broad range of available coordinates in colour space. We believe that our demonstrated method could be used for manipulating broader colour expression as well as in various applications involving stretchable devices.

Abstract
We unraveled the mechanisms of transition metal-doped mechanoluminescent materials through a case study of CaZnOS. We found that the native point defect levels in Cu or Mn-doped CaZnOS system acted as energy relay centers for luminescence energy transfer. In combination with native point defect levels, discussed in a previous study [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2016, 18, 25946], we found that phosphor luminescence belongs to two different mechanisms. For Cu-doping, it occurs by the path via the conduction band minimum to the Cu-t2g level of the 3d orbital localized in the band gap. The hole-drifting effect was found to support the reported red-shifting of the emission. Both reversible and irreversible mechanical quenching were attributed to the spatially separated electrons recombining with the hole localized on the Cu-t2g level within the gap at levels below or above respectively. For Mn-doping, this occurs by a collaborative luminescence assisted by native point defects, and the excited states of Mn2+ overlap with the conduction band edge. The coexistence of MnZn and MnCa was confirmed, but was relatively low in MnCa. The concentration quenching effect, as well as the red-shift of absorption, shows a strong correlation with native point defect levels and the relative position of the 4T1(4G) state for both MnZn and MnCa. Further simplified approximations were used for modeling such concentration quenching effects.

Abstract
Piezoelectric semiconductors, such as ZnO and GaN, demonstrate multiproperty coupling effects toward various aspects of mechanical, electrical, and optical excitation. In particular, the three-way coupling among semiconducting, photoexcitation, and piezoelectric characteristics in wurtzite-structured semiconductors is established as a new field, which was first coined as piezo-phototronics by Wang in 2010. The piezo-phototronic effect can controllably modulate the charge-carrier generation, separation, transport, and/or recombination in optical-electronic processes by modifying the band structure at the metal-semiconductor or semiconductor-semiconductor heterojunction/interface. Here, the progress made in using the piezo-phototronic effect for enhancing photodetectors, pressure sensors, light-emitting diodes, and solar cells is reviewed. In comparison with previous works on a single piezoelectric semiconducting nanowire, piezo-phototronic nanodevices built using nanowire arrays provide a promising platform for fabricating integrated optoelectronics with the realization of high-spatial-resolution imaging and fast responsivity.

Abstract
Flexible electronics has attracted enormous interest in wearable electronics and human-machine interfacing. Here, a flexible organic tribotronic transistor (FOTT) without a top gate electrode has been demonstrated. The FOTT is fabricated on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate film using the p-type pentacene and poly(methyl methacrylate)/Cytop composites as the conductive channel and dielectric layer, respectively. The charge carriers can be modulated by the contact electrification between the dielectric layer and a mobile triboelectric layer. Based on the fabricated FOTT, pressure and magnetic sensors have been developed, respectively, that exhibit great sensitivity, fast response time, and excellent stability. The FOTT in this simple structure shows bright potentials of tribotronics in human-machine interaction, electronic skins, wearable electronics, intelligent sensing, and so on.

Abstract
Light-emitting materials have been extensively investigated because of their widespread applications in solid-state lighting, displays, sensors, and bioimaging. In these applications, it is highly desirable to achieve tunable luminescence in terms of luminescent intensity and wavelength. Here, a convenient physical approach of temporal and remote tuning of light-emitting wavelength and color is demonstrated, which is greatly different from conventional methods. It is shown that by modulating the frequency of magnetic-field excitation at room temperature, luminescence from the flexible composites of ZnS:Al, Cu phosphors induced by the piezophotonic effect can be tuned in real time and in situ. The mechanistic investigation suggests that the observed tunable piezophotonic emission is ascribed to the tilting band structure of the ZnS phosphor induced by magnetostrictive strain under a high frequency of magnetic-field excitation. Furthermore, some proof-of concept devices, including red-green-blue full-color displays and tunable white-light sources are demonstrated simply by frequency modulation. A new understanding of the fundamentals of both luminescence and magnetic-optics coupling is thus provided, while offering opportunities in magnetic-optical sensing, piezophotonics, energy harvesting, novel light sources, and displays.

Abstract
Although silicon (Si) devices are the backbone of modern (opto-)electronics, infrared Si-photosensing suffers from low-efficiency due to its limitation in light-absorption. Here, we demonstrate a large improvement in the performance, equivalent to a 366-fold enhancement in photoresponsivity, of a Si-based near-infrared (NIR) photodetector (PD) by introducing the piezo-phototronic effect via a deposited CdS layer. By externally applying a -0.15‰ compressive strain to the heterojunction, carrier-dynamics modulation at the local junction can be induced by the piezoelectric polarization, and the photoresponsivity and detectivity of the PD exhibit an enhancement of two orders of magnitude, with the peak values up to 19.4 A/W and 1.8 × 1012 cm Hz1/2/W, respectively. The obtained maximum responsivity is considerably larger than those of commercial Si and InGaAs PDs in the NIR waveband. Meanwhile, the rise time and fall time are reduced by 84.6% and 76.1% under the external compressive strain. This work provides a cost-effective approach to achieve high-performance NIR photosensing by the piezo-phototronic effect for high-integration Si-based optoelectronic systems.

Abstract
A variety of up-and-coming applications of piezoluminescence in artificial skins, structural health diagnosis, and mechano-driven lightings and displays recently have triggered an intense research effort to design and develop new piezoluminescent materials. In this work, we deduced and verified an efficient piezoluminescence in ferroelectric Ca3Ti2O7:Pr3+ long-persistent phosphor, in view of three fundamental elements forming piezoluminescence - piezoelectricity, luminescent centers and carrier traps. Under the stimulation of mechanical actions including compression and friction, Ca3Ti2O7:Pr3+ shows an intense red emission from 1D2-3H4 transition of Pr3+. On the basis of investigations on structural and optical characteristics especially photoluminescence, persistent luminescence and thermoluminescence, we finally proposed a possible piezoluminescent mechanism in Ca3Ti2O7:Pr3+. Our research is expected to expand the horizon of existing piezoluminescent materials, accelerating the development and application of new materials.

Abstract
Piezophotonic light-emitting devices have great potential for future microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) due to the added functionality provided by the electromechanical transduction coupled with the ability of light emission. Piezophotonic light-emitting source based on Pb(Mg1/3 Nb2/3 )O3 -PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) bulk is severely restricted by many challenges, such as high voltage burden, low integration density, and micromanufacturing complexity. Developing chip-integrated devices or incorporating such photonic components onto a Si platform is highly sought after in this field. In this work, the authors overcome the abovementioned problems by introducing single-crystal PMN-PT thin films on Si as central active elements. Taking advantage of mature microfabrication techniques, arrays of PMN-PT actuators with small footprints and low operation voltages have been implemented. Each actuator can be individually addressed, generating local deformation to trigger piezophotonic luminescence from ZnS:Mn thin films. Moreover, the authors have realized continuous and reversible color manipulation of piezophotonic luminescence on a bilayer film of ZnS:Cu,Al/ZnS:Mn. The color tunability promises an extra degree of freedom and distinctly suggests its great potential in developing a more compact and colorful piezophotonic light sources and displays related applications together with the "single pixel" addressability.

Abstract
A pressure-sensor matrix (PSM) with full dynamic range can accurately detect and spatially map pressure profiles. A 100 × 100 large-scale PSM gives both electrical and optical signals by itself without applying an external power source. The device represents a major step toward digital imaging, and the visible display of the pressure distribution covers a large dynamic range.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) luminescence of lanthanide ions (Ln3+) has been extensively investigated for several decades and is a constant research hotspot owing to its fundamental significance and widespread applications. In contrast to the multiple and fixed UC emissions of Ln3+, transition metal (TM) ions, e.g., Mn2+, usually possess a single broadband emission due to its 3d5 electronic configuration. Wavelength-tuneable single UC emission can be achieved in some TM ion-activated systems ascribed to the susceptibility of d electrons to the chemical environment, which is appealing in molecular sensing and lighting. Moreover, the UC emissions of Ln3+ can be modulated by TM ions (specifically d-block element ions with unfilled d orbitals), which benefits from the specific metastable energy levels of Ln3+ owing to the well-shielded 4f electrons and tuneable energy levels of the TM ions. The electric versatility of d0 ion-containing hosts (d0 normally viewed as charged anion groups, such as MoO66- and TiO44-) may also have a strong influence on the electric dipole transition of Ln3+, resulting in multifunctional properties of modulated UC emission and electrical behaviour, such as ferroelectricity and oxide-ion conductivity. This review focuses on recent advances in the room temperature (RT) UC of TM ions, the UC of Ln3+ tuned by TM or d0 ions, and the UC of d0 ion-centred groups, as well as their potential applications in bioimaging, solar cells and multifunctional devices.

A plasma-induced p-type MoS2 flake and n-type ZnO film diode, which exhibits an excellent rectification ratio, is demonstrated. Under 365 nm optical irradiation, this p-n diode shows a strong photoresponse with an external quantum efficiency of 52.7% and a response time of 66 ms. By increasing the pressure on the junction to 23 MPa, the photocurrent can be enhanced by a factor of four through the piezophototronic effect.

Abstract
A magnetic-assisted noncontact triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is developed by combining a magnetic responsive layer with a TENG. The novel TENG device is applied to harvest mechanical energy which can be converted into electricity and light emissions. This work has potential for energy harvesting, magnetic sensors, self-powered electronics and optoelectronics applications.
