New Light-Emitting Inorganic Materials
Chimia 52, 561-565 (1998)           

Abstract: We are developing new inorganic light-emitting materials. In addition to the synthesis and crystal growth, our effort is devoted to an understanding of the relevant photophysical processes determining and limiting the light-emission properties. These can be influenced and tuned by chemical and structural variations. The working principles, typical results and conclusions are illustrated by a few selected examples.
