Zusammenfassung
A famous and revered teacher of chemistry, a cynical man, used to remark that chemistry was merely a branch of physics. A study of the scope of the present Colloquium suggests a similar assessment of luminescence, namely as a minor branch of solid state physics, and besides this a notably unsatisfactory one, at any rate from the academic point of view. The phenomena of luminescence sometimes appear to be merely a by-product in the electronic history of solids, a by-product which a number of technicians certainly find useful, but of course do not understand ! This paper, however, is written more from the point of view that luminescence is still worthy of further study in its own right, and that its future value may be as great as its past. In making a more general survey of phosphors than is presented elsewhere in this Colloquium, the sulphides and organic phosphors will not be mentioned except incidentally; even so it is not possible to deal with every interesting topic in a short paper.
