The document discusses photoluminescence, which is the emission of light from a material when it absorbs photons. There are three main steps in the photoluminescence process: excitation, relaxation, and emission. Excitation occurs when photons are absorbed and electrons are lifted to a higher energy state. Relaxation follows as electrons lose energy non-radiatively. Emission is the radiative decay of electrons as they return to the ground state, emitting photons of lower energy than those absorbed. The two main types of photoluminescence are fluorescence, which is a rapid emission, and phosphorescence, which is a slower emission.
This document discusses different types of photoluminescence including fluorescence, phosphorescence, and phosphor thermometry. Fluorescence involves light emission from a substance that has absorbed light or electromagnetic radiation at a higher energy level, and re-emits light at a lower energy level. Phosphorescence differs in that the re-emission of light occurs over longer time scales from "forbidden" energy state transitions. Phosphor thermometry uses characteristics of phosphor luminescence emissions like brightness or color that change with temperature for temperature measurement applications. Common phosphors used include zinc sulfide doped with copper or rare earth doped aluminosilicates.
This document provides an overview of fluorescence spectroscopy. It begins with a brief introduction to fluorescence as a type of luminescence involving emission of light from electronically excited states. It then discusses the Jablonski diagram, which provides the scientific foundation for fluorescence. Several key characteristics of fluorescence emission are described, including Stokes shift and Kasha's rule. The document outlines some common applications of fluorescence spectroscopy and describes the basic components and operation of fluorescence spectrometers, including light sources, monochromators, and photomultiplier tubes. It concludes by noting that fluorescence intensity can decrease at extremely high sample concentrations due to factors like self-quenching.
Photoluminescence is light emission from matter after absorbing photons. Following photon absorption, various relaxation processes occur where photons are re-emitted. Photoluminescence can be classified by excitation energy relative to emission energy. Resonant excitation involves equivalent absorption and emission photon energies, while fluorescence involves energy loss so emitted photons have lower energy. Phosphorescence also involves energy loss but through a spin-forbidden transition, making it a slower process. Photoluminescence is used to measure semiconductor purity and disorder.
Phosphorescence is a type of photoluminescence where the emission of light is not immediate after light absorption due to a change in electron spin. It was first observed naturally in 1568 and artificially in 1604 with barium sulphate. Phosphorescence involves absorption of light which causes electron excitation to a higher energy state followed by a slower re-emission process. Factors like temperature, solvents, and oxygen presence can influence phosphorescence. It has applications in detection of organic compounds and biochemicals.

Xps (x ray photoelectron spectroscopy)Zaahir Salam
The document provides an overview of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technology. XPS works by irradiating a sample surface with x-rays and measuring the kinetic energy and number of electrons that escape from the top 1-10 nm of the material. This allows one to determine the sample's elemental composition and chemical/electronic states. Key aspects discussed include the use of ultra-high vacuum conditions to prevent surface contamination and allow for accurate analysis. Characteristic XPS spectra are produced that contain peaks corresponding to different elemental binding energies.
Colour centres are point defects or defect clusters in crystal lattices that cause the material to change color. They occur when electrons or holes become trapped at defect sites. Common examples are the F-centre in alkali halides, which forms when an electron is trapped at a halide ion vacancy, and the H-centre and V-centre in alkali halides, which involve trapped holes. Defect clusters can also form through the interaction of multiple point defects, such as pairs or groups of F-centres. The defects cause color changes by absorbing visible light and exciting trapped electrons or holes to higher energy states.
Fluorescence occurs when a molecule absorbs high-energy electromagnetic radiation, usually UV light, and re-emits it as lower-energy, visible light. The energy difference between the absorbed and emitted photons is released as heat. Fluorescence is found in many materials in nature like certain gems and minerals, and it is used in fluorescent lighting, fluorescence spectroscopy, microscopy, and biomedical applications.

The document discusses fluorimetry and provides details about:
- Luminescence processes including fluorescence and phosphorescence
- Factors that affect fluorescence like pH, temperature, and concentration
- Instrumentation used for fluorimetry including radiation sources, monochromators, sample holders, and photomultiplier tube detectors
- Quenching processes that can decrease fluorescence intensity
describes the complete history, mechanisms, instrumentation(jablonski diagram), types, comparision and factors affecting, applications of fluorescence and phosphorescence and describes about quenching and stokes shift.
This document is a student's report on luminescence spectroscopy submitted to their professor. It defines fluorescence and phosphorescence, explaining the principles using the Jablonski diagram. Fluorescence occurs from the first excited singlet state and involves emission of a photon within nanoseconds of absorbing light. Phosphorescence involves intersystem crossing to the triplet state, with emission of a photon over micro- to milliseconds. The key differences are that fluorescence stops immediately upon removing excitation, while phosphorescence emission persists afterwards due to the longer-lived triplet state.
Fluorometry is an analytical technique that uses fluorescence to identify and characterize small amounts of substances. It involves exciting a sample with ultraviolet or visible light, which causes certain molecules to absorb energy and reach an excited electronic state. The molecules then emit light of a longer wavelength as they fall back to the ground state, and the intensity and composition of this fluorescent light can be measured. Fluorometric methods have applications in pharmaceutical analysis to measure compounds like riboflavin, thiamine, and reserpine in drug formulations.

The document provides information about lasers. It begins with defining the acronym LASER which stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It then discusses the basic idea of lasers involving atoms transitioning between energy levels and emitting photons through absorption, spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission. The document outlines the key components of lasers including the pump source, gain medium, and optical resonator. Examples of different laser types are provided such as ruby, He-Ne, semiconductor, and their working mechanisms explained in 1-3 sentences.
1. Fluorescence spectrophotometry measures the intensity of light emitted by a substance that has absorbed ultraviolet or visible light.
2. After light absorption, molecules can deactivate through radiationless processes like internal conversion or intersystem crossing, or through emission of a photon during fluorescence or phosphorescence.
3. Factors like a molecule's structure, solvent, temperature, and pH can affect its fluorescence quantum yield by changing rates of radiationless relaxation versus light emission.
Fluorescence is a type of luminescence where molecules emit light from electronically excited states created by light absorption. The fluorescence process involves three steps: 1) excitation of a molecule to an excited electronic state, 2) vibrational relaxation to the lowest excited vibrational level, and 3) emission of a photon and return to the ground state. Phosphorescence also involves light emission from an excited state, but occurs from a longer-lived triplet excited state following intersystem crossing. The absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of molecules generally overlap but the fluorescence peaks are at slightly longer wavelengths due to a Stokes shift.
This document provides information about lasers, specifically discussing spontaneous emission, stimulated emission, how lasers work, population inversion, and characteristics of laser beams. It then describes the Helium-Neon laser in detail, including how it is pumped through electron collisions, its gain medium of Helium and Neon gases, and the optical resonator that allows stimulated emission to produce coherent laser light. Key points are that lasers require population inversion to produce stimulated emission of coherent, monochromatic, and directional laser light.
What is Fluorescence Electrons in an atom or a m.pdfapnashop1
What is Fluorescence? Electrons in an atom or a molecule can absorb the energy in
the electromagnetic radiation and thereby excite to an upper energy state. This upper energy state
is unstable; therefore, electron likes to come back to the ground state. When coming back, it
emits the absorbed wavelength. In this relaxation process, they emit excess energy as photons.
This relaxation process is known as fluorescence. Fluorescence takes place much more rapidly.
Generally, it completes in about 10-5 s or less time from the time of excitation. In atomic
fluorescence, gaseous atoms fluoresce when they are exposed to radiation with a wavelength that
exactly matches one of the absorption lines of the element. For example, gaseous sodium atoms
absorb and excite by absorbing 589 nm radiations. Relaxation takes place after this by
reemission of fluorescent radiation of the identical wavelength. Because of this, we can use
fluorescence to identify different elements. When excitation and reemission wavelengths are the
same, the resulting emission is called resonance fluorescence. Other than fluorescence, there are
other mechanisms by which an excited atom or molecule can give up its excess energy and relax
to its ground state. Nonradiative relaxation and fluorescence emissions are two such important
mechanisms. Because of many mechanisms, the lifetime of an excited state is brief. The relative
number of molecules that fluoresce is small because fluorescence requires structural features that
slow the rate of the nonradiative relaxation and enhance the rate of fluorescence. In most
molecules, these features are not there; therefore, they undergo nonradiative relaxation, and
fluorescence does not occur. Molecular fluorescence bands are made up of a large number of
closely spaced lines; therefore, usually it is hard to resolve. What is Phosphorescence? When
molecules absorb light and go to the excited state they have two options. They can either release
energy and come back to the ground state immediately or undergo other non-radiative processes.
If the excited molecule undergoes a non radiative process, it emits some energy and come to a
triplet state where the energy is somewhat lesser than the energy of the exited state, but it is
higher than the ground state energy. Molecules can stay a bit longer in this less energy triplet
state. This state is known as the metastable state. Then metastable state (triplet state) can slowly
decay by emitting photons, and come back to the ground state (singlet state). When this happens
it is known as phosphorescence. What is the difference between Fluorescence and
Phosphorescence? • When light is supplied to a sample of molecules, we immediately see the
fluorescence. Fluorescence stops as soon as we take away the light source. But phosphorescence
tends to stay little longer even after the irradiating light source is removed. • Fluorescence takes
place when excited energy is released, and the molecule comes back to the gro.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

3. LUMINESCENCE:-
Greek word phosphor (light bearer) is usually used to describe
luminescent nature.
Luminescence is spontaneous emission of light by a substance not
resulting from heat; it is thus a form of cold-body radiation. It can be
caused by chemical reactions, electrical energy, subatomic motions
or stress on a crystal.
Luminescence is emission of light by certain materials when they are
relatively cool. It is in contrast to light emitted from incandescent
bodies, such as burning wood or coal, molten iron, and wire heated by
an electric current.
This distinguishes luminescence from incandescence, which is light
emitted by a substance as a result of heating.

4. This chart shows the interrelationships between various forms of luminescence, particularly photoluminescence, which includes
fluorescence and phosphorescence. A few other types of luminescence relevant to gemology are shown as well (note that other
types of luminescence such as chemicaluminescence and bioluminescence are not included in this illustration). When the
scientific definition (in black) is distinctly different from the gemological usage (in red), both definitions are shown for clarity.

5. PHOTOLUMINESCENCE:-
Photoluminescence, which occurs by virtue of electromagnetic
radiation falling on matter, may range from visible light through ultraviolet,
X-ray, and gamma radiation.
Photoluminescence is a process in which a molecule absorbs a photon in
the visible region, exciting one of its electrons to a higher electronic
excited state, and then radiates a photon as the electron returns to a lower
energy state
The phenomenon of temporary light absorption and subsequent light
emission is called Photoluminescence.
5
6. There are three main process happen in PL –
• Excitation
• Relaxation
• emission
PROCESS:-
6
7. The photo-excitation causes the material to jump to a higher electronic
state, and will then release energy, (photons) as it relaxes and returns to
back to a lower energy level. The emission of light or luminescence
through this process is photoluminescence, PL.
7
8. Photoluminescence is a process in which a molecule absorbs a photon in the visible
region, exciting one of its electrons to a higher electronic excited state, and then radiates a
photon as the electron returns to a lower energy state (because excited states are
unstable). If the molecule undergoes internal energy redistribution after the initial photon
absorption, the radiated photon is of longer wavelength (i.e., lower energy) than the
absorbed photon.

9. Mechanism:-
Electronically Excited State
• Atoms of different elements have a different number of electrons distributed into
several shells and orbitals. Electrons are a type of elementary particle. Electronic
transitions are responsible for luminescence . When the system absorbs energy,
electrons are excited and are lifted into a higher energetic state. Before excitation,
in the ground state, some of the electrons are in the so-called HOMO (Highest
Occupied Molecular Orbital). After they reach an excited state, they are in the
LUMO (Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital) (see Fig). How this works exactly
will be explained using photoluminescence as a specific example.
• Different energetic states of an atom or molecule are known as "energy levels".
Depending on the molecule and atom, the electrons can only occupy discrete
energy levels since the energy is quantized, which means, energy can only be
absorbed and emitted in certain amounts . The difference between two levels can
be calculated with equation (where E2 is the higher energy level and E1 the lower
one).
ΔE = Ephoton ⇔ E2 – E1 = hν
ν = (E2 – E1)/h
λ = hc/(E2 – E1)
Deactivation of Electronically Excited States-
Such electronically excited states are unstable. Electrons drop back to their ground states. At the same time, the excitation
energy is released again. One distinguishes between radiative and non-radiative decay processes. Most of the time, the
decay is non-radiative, for example through vibrational relaxation, quenching with surrounding molecules, or internal
conversion (IC) .
Sometimes, a radiative decay can occur in form of fluorescence and phosphorescence. The energy is emitted as
electromagnetic radiation or photons. The emitted light has a longer wavelength and a lower energy than the absorbed light
because a part of the energy has already been released in a non-radiative decay process . This is the reason that an emission
in the visible spectrum can be achieved by excitation with non-visible UV-radiation. This shift towards a longer wavelength is
called Stokes shift .

11. FLUORESCENCE:-
Jablonski diagram for fluorescence
11
Fluorescent materials produce
visible or invisible light as a result of
incident light of a shorter
wavelength (i.e. X-rays, UV-rays,
etc.).
12. • In the Jablonski diagram for fluorescence (see Fig), the singlet spin state S0 is the ground state of
the electrons, and S1 and S2 are singlet excited states (the states are only used as an example in
this text and do not necessarily apply to certain atoms, molecules, etc.). Within those states, there
are several energy levels. The higher the level is, the more energy an electron possesses when
being in that level. In the case of singlet states, the electrons have antiparallel spins.
• The electrons are lifted from the ground state S0, for example, to an energy level of the second
excited state S2, when excited by electromagnetic radiation. After excitation stops, the electrons
only stay in that excited state for a short period of time (ca. 10−15
s) and then immediately start
falling back down into the ground state . In doing so, energy initially can be released to the
surroundings by vibrational relaxation. That means thermal energy is released by the motion of
the atom or molecule until the lowest level of the second excited state is reached.
•
The bigger gap between the second and first excited state is overcome by internal conversion.
That describes an electronic transition between two states while the spin of electrons is
maintained. Now, the electrons can relax further due to more vibrational relaxation until they
reach the lowest energy level of the S1 state.
•
Theoretically, the electrons could relax even further in a non-radiative way until they eventually
reach the ground state again. However, it can be the case that the last amount of energy is too
large to be released to the surroundings because the surrounding molecules cannot absorb this
much energy. Then, fluorescence occurs, which leads to an emission of photons possessing a
certain wavelength. The emission lasts only until the electrons are back in the ground state.
Since during all those transitions the electron spin is kept the same, they are described as spin-
allowed.
12
15. • For phosphorescence, things are a bit different (see Fig). There are again an S0 ground state
and the two excited states, S1 and S2. Additionally, there is an excited triplet T1 state which lies
energetically between the S0 and S1 state. The electrons again have antiparallel spins in the
ground state.
• Excitation happens in the same way as in fluorescence, namely through electromagnetic
radiation. The release of energy through vibrational relaxation and internal conversion while
maintaining the same spin is the same here, as well, but only until the S1 state is reached.
• Alongside the singlet states, a triplet state exists and so-called intersystem crossing (ISC) can
occur since the T1 state is energetically more favorable than the S1 state. This crossing, like
internal conversion, is an electronic transition between two excited states. But contrary to
internal conversion, ISC is associated with a spin reversal from singlet to triplet. Electrons in
the triplet state have parallel spins, which is noted as (↑↑) . This ISC process is described as
"spin-forbidden". It is not completely impossible – due to a phenomenon called "spin-orbit
coupling" – however, it is rather unlikely .
•
In the T1 state, non-radiative decay is possible as well. However, a transition between the
lowest energy level of the triplet state and the S0 state is not readily possible, because that
transition is spin-forbidden, too. Still, it can happen anyway with a small possibility. It causes
a rather weak emission of photons because the electron spin has to be reversed again. The
energy is trapped in this state for a while and can only be released slowly . After all energy has
been released, the electrons are back in the ground state .

18. Photoluminescence spectroscopy:-
• The photoluminescence (PL) is a nondestructive spectroscopic technique
commonly used for the study of intrinsic and extrinsic properties of both bulk
semiconductors and nanostructures.
• Photoluminescence spectroscopy, often referred to as PL, is when light energy,
or photons, stimulate the emission of a photon from any matter.
• Photoluminescence spectroscopy is a contactless, versatile, nondestructive,
powerful optical method of probing the electronic structure of materials.
• The intensity and spectral content of this photoluminescence is a direct measure
of various important material properties.
• PL spectroscopy gives information only on the low lying energy levels of the
investigated system.
• During a PL spectroscopy experiment, excitation is provided by laser light with
an energy much larger than the optical band gap.
18
• Importance & facts-
19. • The photo excited carriers consist of electrons and holes, which relax toward
their respective band edges and recombine by emitting light at the energy of the
band gap.
• The quantity of the emitted light is related to the relative contribution of the
radiative process.
• Radiative transitions in semiconductors may also involve localized defects or
impurity levels therefore the analysis of the PL spectrum leads to the
identification of specific defects or impurities, and the magnitude of the PL
signal allows determining their concentration.
• The respective rates of radiative and nonradiative recombination can be
estimated from a careful analysis of the temperature variation of the PL
intensity and PL decay time.
• At higher temperatures nonradiative recombination channels are activated and
the PL intensity decreases exponentially.

absorption spectrum measures transitions from the ground state to excited
state, while photoluminescence deals with transitions from the excited state to
the ground state.
The period between absorption and emission is typically extremely short.
An excitation spectrum is a graph of emission intensity versus excitation
wavelength which looks very much like an absorption spectrum.

CONCLUSIONS:-
Luminescence spectroscopy provides complex information about the
defect structure of solid
- importance of spatially resolved spectroscopy
- information on electronic structures
There is a close relationship between specific conditions of mineral
formation or alteration, the defect structure and the luminescence
properties (“typomorphism”)
Useful for determining semiconductor band gap, excitation energy
etc.
For the interpretation of luminescence spectra it is necessary to
consider several analytical and crystallographic factors, which
influence the luminescence signal
