Enduring

The phenomenon of persistent luminescence is a captivating display of light manifestation. Even after the initial source of excitation ceases, some materials preserve their radiant state, diffusing a soft glow over time. This occurrence has its roots in the quantum properties of certain materials, where excited electrons migrate between energy levels, emitting photons as they settle to their ground state. The duration and intensity of lingering luminescence vary widely depending on the material's composition, its excitation history, and environmental factors such as temperature.

• Factors influencing lingering luminescence include:
• Compositional characteristics
• Energy level of excitation
• Ambient heat
