Nonlinear Optical Properties of Inorganic Clusters

  • Chapter
Optoelectronic Properties of Inorganic Compounds

Part of the book series: Modern Inorganic Chemistry ((MICE))

Abstract

Living in an electronic age, one is inclined to take for granted the convenience provided by electronic devices and rarely has time to stop and think about the limitations of the electronics. It has not yet been widely recognized that the role of electrons in the information technology of the 20th century may be replaced by photons in the 21st century.
