Abstract

Highly oriented and crystallized films of ZnS:Mn were successfully deposited on various substrates including quartz glass, stainless, carbon, and ceramics (Al₂O₃, SiC, Si₃N₄). Strong mechanoluminescence (ML) was observed by application of friction (shear stress) on the ZnS:Mn films deposited on the dielectric substrates. This ML phenomenon of ZnS:Mn can be explained by a model based on the superposition of piezoelectric effect and electroluminescence. It is proposed that the high orientation and crystallization of the ZnS:Mn film give higher piezoelectric voltage on the opposite sides of the nano-sized grains of ZnS, which leads to a higher efficiency of electroluminescence, and finally as a total effect, providing a higher ML intensity.
