The word luminescence was first used by a German physicist, Eilhardt Wiedemann, in 1888. He also classified luminescence into six kinds according to the method of excitation. No better basis of classification is available today. He recognized photoluminescence, thermoluminescence, electroluminescence, crystalloluminescence, triboluminescence, and chemiluminescence. The designations are obvious, characterized by the prefix. This Volume consists of 9 Chapters, including 8 Review Papers and one Case Study.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Eight review papers and one case study provide a snapshot of the currentscience of luminescence. They cover the importance of environmentally friendly organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting, OLEDs and their applications,photoluminescence studies in II-VI nanoparticles embedded in a polymer matrix, electroluminescence in chalcogenide nanocrystals and nanocomposites, thethermoluminescence of persistent luminescent materials, the role of thermoluminescence in the design of inorganic scintillators, some landmarks inthe development and application of luminescence to Earth and planetary sciences, luminescence instrumentation, and a case study of a thermoluminescence reader controlled by a personal computer.
