radioluminescencen.

Brit.

/ˌreɪdɪəʊˌl(j)uːmᵻˈnɛsns/, U.S.

/ˌreɪdioʊˌluməˈnɛs(ə)ns/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: radio- comb. form², luminescence n.

Etymology: < radio- comb. form² + luminescence n. Compare French radioluminescence (1899), German Radiolumineszenz (1909 or earlier). Compare earlier chemiluminescence n., electroluminescence n. at electro- comb. form 1, photoluminescence n., triboluminescence n.

Luminescence caused by the action of ionizing radiation (whether through natural radioactive decay or deliberate irradiation).
