(author), Hong, Hanlie (author)In recent years, some sapphires were found to fade in sunlight and to increase their color after UV irradiation. This unstable color phenomenon is attributed to the photochromism of corundum. The photochromic effect seriously affects the grading and evaluation of sapphires, although its mechanism is still uncertain. Here, we performed a set...journal article 2023
