Optical spectroscopy has been instrumental in the discovery of many
lanthanide elements. In return, these elements have always played a
prominent role in lighting devices and light conversion
technologies (Auer mantles, incandescent lamps, lasers, cathode-ray
and plasma displays). They are also presently used in highly
sensitive luminescent bio-analyses and cell imaging. This volume of
the Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths is
entirely devoted to the photophysical properties of these elements.
It is dedicated to the late Professor William T (Bill) Carnall who
has pioneered the understanding of lanthanide spectra in the 1960 s
and starts with a Dedication to this scientist. The following five
chapters describe various aspects of lanthanide spectroscopy and
its applications. Chapters 231 presents state-of-the-art
theoretical calculations of lanthanide energy levels and transition
intensities. It is followed by a review (Chapter 232) on both
theoretical and experimental aspects of f-d transitions, a less
well known field of lanthanide spectroscopy, yet very important for
the design of new optical materials. Chapter 233 describes how
confinement effects act on the photophysical properties of
lanthanides when they are inserted into nanomaterials, including
nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanowires, nanotubes, insulating and
semiconductor nanocrystals. The use of lanthanide chelates for
biomedical analyses is presented in Chapter 234; long lifetimes of
the excited states of lanthanide ions allow the use of
time-resolved spectroscopy, which leads to highly sensitive
analyses devoid of background effect from the autofluorescence of
the samples. The last review (Chapter 235) provides a comprehensive
survey of near-infrared (NIR) emitting molecular probes and
devices, spanning an all range of compounds, from simple chelates
to macrocyclic complexes, heterometallic functional edifices,
coordination polymers and other extended structures. Applications
ranging from telecommunications to light-emitting diodes and
biomedical analyses are assessed.
- Provides a comprehensive look at optical spectroscopy and its
applications
- A volume in the continuing authoritative series which deals with
the chemistry, materials science, physics and technology of the
rare earth elements"
