Aims to provide a scientific understanding of the colour and luminescence properties of synthetic and naturally-occurring inorganic materials. This monograph provides the background in many-electron atomic spectroscopy, solid state physics, and the interaction of optically-active centres with electromagnetic radiation.
The aim of this monograph is to provide a scientific understanding of the colour and luminescence properties of synthetic and naturally-occuring inorganic materials. It provides the essential background in many-electron atomic spectroscopy, solid state physics, and the interaction of optically-active centres with electromagnetic radiation. A feature of the book is the large amount of experimental data used to illustrate the fundamental theoreticalconcepts.
A worthy general account.
