Luminescence problems

Journal of Soviet Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The article deals with the interpretation of the experimental results on luminescence and on the degree to which this interpretation is unambiguous and noncontradictory. More than 30 concrete cases are considered and are used as examples to demonstrate that if the experimental conditions that are seemingly of secondary importance are not sufficiently well accounted for the experimental results themselves may turn out to be ambiguous. The particular experimental conditions that can be especially “insidious” in this respect are indicated. The examples concern the kinetics of the luminescence and the investigations of its spectra and polarization.
