Textbook in PDF format
This book is designed to provide an introductory and useful description of luminescent solids, particularly artificial (man-made) phosphors, in language comprehensible to science graduates. Much of the material is drawn from personal experience in synthesizing, studying, and applying luminescent solids since 1931, that is, during the recent era of intensive phosphor research which made possible such modern developments as electronic television, “fluorescent” lighting, radar, electron microscopy, and devices for seeing many otherwise invisible forms of energy. Although the book is intended for nonspecialists in luminescence, it is expected that it will be useful as a text in training future specialists and in aiding scientists who wish to refresh and increase their knowledge of solid matter and its interactions with radiations and charged material particles, and to use phosphors for detecting radiation and material particles.
