Abstract

This chapter presents details about the samples and the experimental setup. The first section discusses the materials used to prepare the samples and explains the process of sample preparation. This is followed by a section giving an overview of Fourier transform spectroscopy, and ends with an explanation of the experimental setup and technical means used to carry out the photoluminescence experiments.
