The Effect of Pressure and Temperature on Luminescent Processes.

Abstract

The characterization of those properties which depend on electronic processes in materials under high mechanical stresses is important to many areas of modern technology, since sophisticated electronic devices and specialized materials applications are increasingly required to function in extreme pressure environments. For this purpose the basic knowledge must be assembled to determine the electronic properties of matter under extreme environmental conditions. The molecular energetics of various materials in environments which differ from the isothermal, isobaric world of our everyday experience is the theme of this report. This work combines the experimental techniques of condensed state research, optical spectroscopy and high-pressure research for the purpose of using the pressure parameter in understanding compressed matter and as a perturbation to elucidate electronic properties of materials at normal pressures.
