Luminofoorlampide

Luminofoorlampide is a fictional luminescent inorganic material described in speculative scientific literature and science-fiction. It is typically depicted as a crystalline solid with a wide bandgap capable of efficient photoluminescence at room temperature, often serving as a host lattice for dopant ions to produce bright, color-tunable emission.

In proposed models, luminofoorlampide adopts fluorite- or perovskite-like structures. Emission colors range from blue to red depending on dopants such as europium or terbium, with energy levels and quenching behavior depending on the host-dopant combination. Claimed properties include high luminescent quantum yield and good thermal stability.

Synthesis routes commonly described include solid-state reactions of oxide precursors with high-temperature annealing, as well as sol-gel or hydrothermal methods. Doping levels are typically 1–10 mol%, chosen to balance brightness and concentration quenching. Surface treatments and crystallinity are cited as important for maximizing afterglow.

Applications in fiction include displays, energy-efficient lighting, anti-counterfeiting inks, and biomedical imaging under hypothetical constraints. Because the material is not established in real experiments, proposed properties and devices remain speculative and vary across sources.

Etymology: the name is a constructed neologism with no standardized nomenclature. It combines elements associated with light and lamps, but its use is confined to imaginative or speculative contexts rather than current scientific consensus.
