Luminescence of Solids

Luminescence of Solids gathers together much of the latest work on luminescent inorganic materials and new physical phenomena. The volume includes chapters covering -- the achievements that have led to the establishment of the fundamental laws of luminescence -- light sources, light-dispersing elements, detectors, and other experimental techniques -- models and mechanisms -- materials preparation, and -- future trends.

This international collection of cutting-edge luminescence research is complemented by over 170 illustrations that bring to life the text's many vital concepts.
