Force‐Induced Ultraviolet C Luminescence of Pr3+‐Doped Sr2P2O7 for X‐Ray Dosimetry

Mechanoluminescent materials have broad application prospects in advanced displays, stress imaging, and anti-counterfeiting owing to their ability to convert mechanical stimuli into light. However, most previous studies have focused on the visible and near-infrared regions. Although natural ultraviolet C (UVC) light is nearly absent on the Earth's surface, it plays an important role in many fields. Therefore, the development of smart materials capable of emitting UVC mechanoluminescence (ML) and expanding the application scenarios of UVC ML are significant but challenging. Here the ML property of Sr
