Phosphor Handbook: Process, Properties and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in research on the synthesis, characterization and applications of organic and inorganic phosphors. There is detailed information presented on the characterization of the relevant phosphor groups, such as up-conversion and down-conversion phosphors, inorganic LED phosphors, organic LED phosphors and thermoluminescence and dosimetric phosphors using various physical and chemical advances. Finally, the advances in phosphor technologies are discussed, including current barriers to their use in commercial applications and emerging opportunities. This book is suitable for researchers and practitioners in academia and those working in R&D in industry in the disciplines of materials science and engineering, materials chemistry, materials physics, photonics science and technology, nanotechnology and physical chemistry.

An in-depth look at the luminescence of phosphor materials for applications in optical devices, sensors, and medical technologies. Optical Properties of Phosphate and Pyrophosphate Compounds gives a broad introduction to pyrophosphates and phosphate-based phosphors, including their fundamental properties, material composition, synthesis methods, characterization techniques, and applications in optical devices and technologies. The text describes the development of the materials' shape and size, as well as crucial characterization techniques for key applications. Additionally, it includes essential information about recently used single and mixed cations pyrophosphate and phosphate compounds. This book is suitable for researchers working in materials science, engineering, materials chemistry, and physics. It may also be helpful to engineers and chemists working in R&D for solid state lighting.

The present book encompasses and gives brief information about pyrophosphate materials. It also explains their phenomenological theories and properties of rare-earth activated pyrophosphates. This book provides the comprehensive in depth information about the development of phosphates and pyrophosphates along with their essential characterisation techniques as well as their diversified applications in numerous domains. This book envelopes all essential information about single and mixed cations pyrophosphate compounds that have been used in past few years. It also covers intact information about innovation in advance pyrophosphate materials especially for their applications in medicinal field. In particular, this book focuses on enhanced chemical and physical properties of pyrophosphate as there is a need for new low-cost, less toxic and energy efficient materials to reduce the current cost of device technologies. This book masterfully demonstrates the present scenario of pyrophosphates and concurrent technologies with its increasing significance to resolve energy- and environment-related problems and their sustainable approach in the world of globalisation.
