"Phosphors are often consisting of transition-metal compounds or rare-earth compounds, with the most common application being displays and fluorescent light. This book will guide the reader through the latest developments in thermo-, electro-, mechano- and bioluminescence of rare earth phosphors and crystals. Also, the effect of doping will be discussed."--Publisher.
