The thermoluminescence afterglow (AG) measured in plant leaves originates from the S(2)/S(3)Q(B)(-) charge pair recombination in photosystem II (PSII) initiated by reverse electron flow from stromal reductants to PQ and then to the Q(B) site in PSII centers that are in the S(2)/S(3)Q(B) state. In this study, we show that this luminescence, absent in isolated thylakoid membranes, can be measured in intact chloroplasts that retain their stromal content including the electron acceptor pool (oxidized ferredoxin/NADP(+)) of photosystem I. The properties of the chloroplasts AG emission is similar to the AG in leaves in terms of temperature maximum, period-four modulation, far-red light stimulation, and antimycin A inhibition.

Recently, metal halides have attracted much attention due to their fascinating optical properties. However, achieving efficient white emission with ultralong afterglow remains a great challenge. Herein, we report Sb/Mn-codoped CsCdCl and multiple emission bands can be observed, which are derived from the self-trapped exciton emission of the Sb-Cl moiety and the d-d transition of Mn.

The extensive development in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in recent years provides an opportunity to positively influence plant growth and biomass accumulation and to optimize biochemical composition and nutritional quality. This study aimed to assess how different light spectra affect the growth, photosynthesis and biochemical properties of Eruca sativa. Therefore two LED lighting modes - red:blue (RB, 1:1) and red:green:blue (RGB, 2:1:2) were compared to the conventional white light fluorescent tubes (WL).

The solution-combustion approach was used to create CaBO:Euphosphors using Ba (NO), Eu (NO)·5HO, HBO, NH(ON)H, and NHNO as source materials. We investigated the thermoluminescence (TL) characteristics of beta (β)-irradiated CaBO:Eu. When the TL intensity was evaluated at different dosages of β, it rose with the dose.

Regulating defect distribution in inorganic phosphors is paramount for realizing multimode dual-field optical signals for high security level identification but remains an ongoing challenge. Here, we propose a strategy of equivalent anion doping and nonequivalent cation doping to successfully regulate the trap distribution and density in Ba(PO)Cl:F,Eu,Ce (BPCF-AG) phosphors. Due to the coexistence of shallow and deep traps for different photon processes, the BPCF-AG exhibits simultaneous photochromism in a bright field and tetramode luminescence (photoluminescence, afterglow, 980 nm photostimulated luminescence, and 650/532 nm photostimulated afterglow) in a dark field.
