Luminescence is presently, and will continue to be, a challenging field of research in materials science, solid-state physics and chemistry. Recent progress in optoelectronic and display technology continues to drive this field in the search for new luminescent materials. Demands on new procedures for synthesis, and understanding underlying luminescence processes in these materials, will create new opportunities for both fundamental and applied research. This book is a compilation of papers, both invited and solicted, from around the world that focus on luminescence and luminescent materials - from theory and modeling, characterization of luminescent materials, and systems with confined structures such as nanocrystallites and quantum wells and dots, to synthesis and device applications.

Thanks to the progress made in instruments and techniques, the methods in physical chemistry have developed rapidly over the past few decades, making them increasingly valuable for scientists of many disciplines. These two must-have volumes meet the needs of the scientific community for a thorough overview of all the important methods currently used. As such, this work bridges the gap between standard textbooks and review articles, covering a large number of methods, as well as the motivation behind their use. A uniform approach is adopted throughout both volumes, while the critical comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of each method makes this a valuable reference for physical chemists and other scientists working with these techniques.
