6. Fluorescence
Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance
Mechanism:
Excitation: S0 + hvex Sm
Fluorescence (emission): Sn Sm+ hvem
Vem is visible reason frequency
h is Planck’s constant
Quantum yield
Ø= number of photon emitted
number of photon adsorbed
kinetics
Fluorescence typically follows first-order kinetics
[S1]=[S1]0e-Ѓt
Ѓ is the decay rate or the inverse of the fluorescence lifetime.
[s1] is the concentration of excited state molecules at time
[s1]0 is the initial concentration
The maximum possible
fluorescence quantum yield is 1.0

Fluorescence intensity, IF is proportional to the amount of light absorbed and the
fluorescence quantum yield, Φ
If=kIoϕ[1-(10-εbc)]
where
k is a proportionality constant attributed to the instrument
I0 is the incident light intensity ϵ is the molar absorptivity,
b is the path length, c is the concentration of the substrate.
Stokes shift
Stokes fluorescence is the emission of a longer-wavelength photon (lower
frequency or energy) by a molecule
Anti-Stokes shift
If the emitted photon has more energy than the absorbed photon, the energy
difference is called an anti-Stokes shift.
this extra energy comes from dissipation of thermal phonons in a crystal lattice,
cooling the crystal in the process.

8. laws of Fluorescence
There are several general rules that deal with fluorescence.
• Ground state spin multiplicity does not
change
• Follow spin selection rule
• Vibronic transitions are the simultaneous changes in
electronic and vibrational energy levels
• electronic transitions are very fast compared with
nuclear motions
• Stokes shift is the difference between positions of the
band maxima of the absorption and emission spectra
• This is because Non-radiative transitions

Common materials that fluoresce
Vitamin B2 fluoresces yellow.
Tonic water fluoresces blue due to the presence of quinine.
Highlighter ink is often fluorescent due to the presence of pyranine.
Banknotes, postage stamps and credit cards often have fluorescent
security features.
Organic solutions such anthracene or stilbene dissolved
in benzene or toluene show fluoresces
Scintillation is defined a flash of light produced in a transparent material
by the passage of a particle
12. Quantum dots(rising star of nano techanology)
Quantum dots are unique 0 dimention nanocrystals, 1–100 nm in
size, with unique optical and electrical properties.
Quantum dots are latest fluorescent compound
Fluorescent property of quantum dots depends their size.
Size decrease energy gap increase, so they show different colour in different size

Phosphorescence is a type of photoluminescence. Phosphorescence is
emission of light from triplet-excited states.
absorbing the light and reemitting it at a
longer wavelength
Excitation: S0 + hvex Sm
Intersystem crossing: Sm Tp
Fluorescence (emission): Tp So+ hvem
Zinc sulfide (left) and strontium aluminate (right), in visible
light, in darkness, and after 4 minutes in the dark.
S is a singlet and T a triplet
Transitions to the ground state are , and the emission
rates are relatively slow (103 to 100 s−1)
15. 15
a phosphorescent material does not immediately reemit the radiation it
absorbs. Instead, a phosphorescent material absorbs some of the radiation
energy and reemits it for a much longer time after the radiation source is
removed
phosphorescent materials may continue to emit an after glow ranging
from a few microseconds to many hours after the excitation is removed
Phosphorescence is usually not seen in fluid solutions at
room temperature because there are many deactivation
processes that have faster rate constants
16. 16
copper-activated zinc sulfide, called ‘GS
phosphor.
This type of pigment is often used in the
manufacture of novelty toys
strontium aluminate is 10 times more luminous
than zinc sulphide. This has more serious
applications such as safety signs,
Phosphorescent pigments can be mixed with
paints, giving a ‘glow’ effect. In fact, the
pigments can be mixed with almost any medium
including candle wax, glue and plastic inks
17. 17
phosphorescent materials are the glow-in-the-dark toys, stickers, paint,
wristwatch and clock dials that glow after being charged with a bright
light such as in any normal reading or room light.
Phosphorimetry is application of Phosphorescence, which is used in
clinical, forensic application etc.
