On page 4488, J. Hao and co-workers propose a practical approach to design and synthesize flexible polymer composites composed of a magnetic actuator and phosphor. Magnetic-induced luminescence (MIL) is shown via strain-mediated coupling, which can be modulated under a time-varying low magnetic field at room temperature. A magnetically driven light-emission pattern and a white-light source are demonstrated.
Keywords: luminescence; magnetic field excitation; metal‐ion‐doped phosphor; piezophotonic effects; strain.
