Abstract
Mechanism of mechanoluminescence of the composite of Mn-doped ZnS particles and polyester resin is developed based on the principle of Fermi-level shift, associated by piezoelectric effect. As the electron-hole recombination is responsible for light emission, it is possible to determine the number of emitted photons from the difference in number of conducting electrons between the stressed state and the thermal equilibrium condition. For the given emission color, characteristics of photomultiplier tube and deformation conditions, the emitted photons can be approximated. The model is expressed as A[exp (Bσ2) - 1] where σ is the applied stress, a pre-exponential A illustrates the efficiency of luminescent centers and the influences of dielectric and piezoelectric constants of ZnS host and temperature are displayed as the exponent factor B.
