AbstractMg2SnO4 exhibits green photoluminescence and persistent luminescence, which originate from oxygen vacancies. When Ti4+ions were doped, an interesting Mg2SnO4:Ti4+ phosphor with bluish white photoluminescence under ultraviolet irradiation and with green persistent luminescence was first obtained. Our investigation reveals that two emission centres exist in Mg2SnO4:Ti4+. The centres responsible for the green emission are considered to be the F centres (oxygen vacancies) and the blue centres are the TiO6 complex. Trap clusters in the band gap with different depths, such as [SnMg‥—Oi″], [SnMg‥—VO·], [SnMg‥—VO×] and MgSn″, correspond to the components at 85 ℃, 146 ℃ and 213 ℃ of the thermoluminescence curve.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
