Artificial skin to sense mechanical stress by visible light emission
Abstract
The idea and successful practice of a stress sensor to sense mechanical stress by an artificial skin, i.e., self-diagnosis thin film, has been realized, through the fabrication of a high-luminescence thin piezoelectric film which can reproducibly emit strong visible light upon stressing. The strongest luminescent film consists of nanosized crystallites of ZnS doped with 1.5 at. % Mn, in which Mn acts as the emitting center. The intensity of the emitted luminescence responds to stress applied directly onto the film or to the underlying material reversibly and reproducibly, so it can be used as an artificial skin to sense mechanical stress.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
