This book presents an account of the course "Advances in Energy Transfer Processes" held in Erice, Italy from June 17 to July 1, 1999. This event was organized by the International School of Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy of the "Ettore Majorana" Centre for Scientific Culture.
The purpose of this course was to investigate the advances made in recent years in the study of processes by which excitation energy, initially localized in a particular constituent or restricted region of a material, transfers itself to other parts or degrees of freedom of the system. Energy transfer processes are relevant to such various fields as spectroscopy, laser technology, phosphors, artificial solar energy conversion, and photobiology.
