Photoluminescence in rare earth activated oxides and II-VI chalcogenides

This thesis is concerned with the luminescent properties ·of rare earth doped oxides and the IT-VI chalcogenide CaCdS. Both materials are luminescent by very different mechanisms. Luminescence from CaCdS is due to transitions between the conduction and valence band. Emission spectra were found to b...
