Radioluminescence is the phenomenon by which light is produced in a material by bombardment with ionizing radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Radioluminescence is used as a low level light source for night illumination of instruments or signage.
Radioluminescence, a result of bombardment by ionizing radiation; Electroluminescence, a result of an electric current passed through a substance Cathodoluminescence, a result of a luminescent material being struck by electrons; Chemiluminescence, the emission of light as a result of a chemical reaction
Tritium radioluminescence is the use of gaseous tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, to create visible light. Tritium emits electrons through beta decay and, when they interact with a phosphor material, light is emitted through the process of phosphorescence .
