Sommario/riassunto

This special volume consists of eight chapters consisting of seven Review papers and one Research paper. ""Luminescence Phenomena: An Introduction"" is the first Chapter contributed by KVR Murthy and HS Virk. It explains the basic phenomenon of Luminescence: ""Luminescence is ""cold light"", light from other sources of energy which can take place at normal and lower temperatures. The word luminescence was first used by a German physicist, Eilhardt Wiedemann, in 1888. In Latin 'Lumen' means 'light'. The materials exhibiting this phenomenon are known as 'Luminescent materials' or 'Phosphors' mea
