Von der hinteren Coverseite

Modern Luminescence From Fundamental Concepts to Materials & Applications is a multivolume work that reviews the fundamental principles, properties and applications of luminescent materials. Topics addressed include 1) The key concepts of luminescence with a focus on important characterization techniques to understand a wide category of luminescent materials; 2) The most relevant luminescent materials categories including both current and emerging materials; 3) The applications of luminescent materials in biomedicine, solid state devices, and the development of hybrid materials.

This second volume Luminescence in Materials reviews the most relevant luminescent materials including transition metals, rare-earth materials, actinide-based materials, and organic materials. It reviews the luminescence mechanisms in the most relevant and emerging materials and optical techniques to characterize these materials.

Modern Luminescence From Fundamental Concepts to Materials & Applications is suitable for materials scientists and engineers in academia and industry R&D.
