Main description:

Modern Luminescence From Fundamental Concepts to Materials and Applications, Volume Four: Luminescence in Solid State Devices is a multivolume work that reviews the fundamental principles, properties and applications of luminescent materials. Topics addressed include 1) The key concepts of luminescence with a focus on important characterization techniques to understand a wide category of luminescent materials, 2) The most relevant luminescent materials such as transition metals, rare-earth materials, actinide-based materials, and organic materials, and 3) The emerging applications of luminescent materials in biomedicine, solid state devices, and the development of hybrid materials.

The book reviews the latest advances in luminescent materials and their application in solid state lighting, energy and space. The volume also discusses advanced applications such as photonic energy materials, anti-counterfeiting, high power applications, and more. It will be suitable for materials scientists and engineers in academia and industry R&D.
