Luminescence and the Solid State [antikvár]

vi Preface initial edition, while adding information to update the current state of affairs concerning phosphor usage. I have tried to be as comprehensive as possible. I trust that you will be able to completely understand the complexities of phosphors once you have studied this current volume. It is clear to me that the use of phosphors is changing and will continue to change as new types of electronic devices and displays continue to mature. If you are working in the field, I hope that this presentation is of value in your project. I have enjoyed preparing this manuscript and hope that you find reading it both profitable and enlightening. R. C. Ropp, October, 2003
