Optical Spectroscopy of Inorganic Solids - Henderson, Brian (Professor Emeritus,University of Strathclyde.) a Imbusch, George Francis (Professor Emeritus, National University of Ireland, Galway and Academic Research Officer, Royal Irish Academy.)

Aims to provide a scientific understanding of the colour and luminescence properties of synthetic and naturally-occurring inorganic materials. This monograph provides the background in many-electron atomic spectroscopy, solid state physics, and the interaction of optically-active centres with electromagnetic radiation.
