Photoluminescence emission profiles of 1 MeOH under dynamic vacuum (at the beginning, pressure above 1000 mtorr cannot be read by the low-pressure sensor). Loading MeOH increases the emission intensity of both the crystalline and quasi-amorphous phases. The phase transition from crystalline to quasi-amorphous also increases the emission intensity, which surpass the effect of MeOH desorption.
