Download or read book Excited States Of Transition Elements - Proceedings Of The 2nd International School written by Strek W and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1992-09-30 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the recent advances in spectroscopy and theoretical modeling relevant to the interpretation of luminescence and laser phenomena in solid state materials. The available solid state matrices in crystalline and glassy states and the full range of activaters-transition metal ions, rare earth ions and actinides are considered here. Processes of activator excitation, energy transfer between activators and relaxation of excited states are particularly stressed.
