Abstract

Flexible and transparent optoelectronic technology has shown great application prospects in various fields. Introducing rare earth luminescent centers into inorganic ferroelectric systems can benefit the electrical properties by utilizing the polar nanodomains brought about by rare earth doping and also facilitate the investigation of coupling effect between luminescence modulation and flexoelectric effect. This article studies Pr3+-doped barium titanate all-inorganic flexible transparent heterojunctions and explores the direct modulation of the fluorescence and flexoelectric response through mechanical strain stimulation. We aim to investigate the essential correlation and physical mechanism of strain-flexoelectricity-photoluminescence (force-electric-photon) coupling, providing an important basis for the dynamic balance regulation between radiative and non-radiative transitions. Therefore, this work will significantly promote the development of highly integrated flexible sensing and intelligent optoelectronic devices.
