Chemical kinetics

Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the study of rates of chemical processes.

Chemiluminescence

Chemiluminescence (also chemoluminescence) is the emission of light (luminescence), as the result of a chemical reaction.

Energy level

A quantum mechanical system or particle that is bound—that is, confined spatially—can only take on certain discrete values of energy.

Fluorescence

Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation.

New!!: Phosphorescence and Fluorescence · See more »

Fluorophore

A fluorophore (or fluorochrome, similarly to a chromophore) is a fluorescent chemical compound that can re-emit light upon light excitation.

Forbidden mechanism

In spectroscopy, a forbidden mechanism (forbidden transition or forbidden line) is a spectral line associated with absorption or emission of light by atomic nuclei, atoms, or molecules which undergo a transition that is not allowed by a particular selection rule but is allowed if the approximation associated with that rule is not made.

Glow stick

A glow stick is a self-contained, short-term light-source.

Intersystem crossing

Intersystem crossing (ISC) is a radiationless process involving a transition between the two electronic states with different states spin multiplicity.

Luminous paint

Luminous paint or luminescent paint is paint that exhibits luminescence.

Microparticle

Microparticles are particles between 0.1 and 100 \mum in size.

Nanosecond

A nanosecond (ns) is an SI unit of time equal to one thousand-millionth of a second (or one billionth of a second), that is, 1/1,000,000,000 of a second, or 10 seconds.

Persistent luminescence

Commonly referred as phosphorescence, persistent luminescence is the phenomenon encountered in materials which make them glow in the dark after the end of an excitation with UV or visible light.

Phosphor

A phosphor, most generally, is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of luminescence.

New!!: Phosphorescence and Phosphor · See more »

Phosphoroscope

A phosphoroscope is piece of experimental equipment devised in 1857 by physicist A. E. Becquerel to measure how long it takes a phosphorescent material to stop glowing after it has been excited.

Photoluminescence

Photoluminescence (abbreviated as PL) is light emission from any form of matter after the absorption of photons (electromagnetic radiation).

New!!: Phosphorescence and Photoluminescence · See more »

Photon

The photon is a type of elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force (even when static via virtual particles).

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model, or matrix mechanics), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles.

Quantum yield

The quantum yield (Φ) of a radiation-induced process is the number of times a specific event occurs per photon absorbed by the system.

New!!: Phosphorescence and Quantum yield · See more »

Singlet state

In quantum mechanics, a singlet state usually refers to a system in which all electrons are paired.

Strontium aluminate

Strontium aluminate (SRA, SrAl, 24) is a solid odorless, nonflammable, pale yellow, monoclinic crystalline powder, heavier than water.

Term symbol

In quantum mechanics, the term symbol is an abbreviated description of the (total) angular momentum quantum numbers in a multi-electron atom (however, even a single electron can be described by a term symbol).

Triplet state

In quantum mechanics, a triplet is a quantum state of a system with a spin of quantum number s.

Tritium

Tritium (or; symbol or, also known as hydrogen-3) is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
