  2. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    Jablonski diagram of an energy scheme used to explain the difference between fluorescence and phosphorescence. The excitation of molecule A to its singlet excited state ( 1 A*) may, after a short time between absorption and emission (fluorescence lifetime), return immediately to ground state , giving off a photon via fluorescence (decay time).

  3. Zinc sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_sulfide

    Zinc sulfide (or zinc sulphide) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of ZnS. This is the main form of zinc found in nature, where it mainly occurs as the mineral sphalerite . Although this mineral is usually black because of various impurities, the pure material is white, and it is widely used as a pigment.

  4. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    The best known type is a copper-activated zinc sulfide (ZnS) and the silver-activated zinc sulfide (zinc sulfide silver). The host materials are typically oxides, nitrides and oxynitrides, [2] sulfides, selenides, halides or silicates of zinc, cadmium, manganese, aluminium, silicon, or various rare-earth metals. The activators prolong the ...

  5. Activator (phosphor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activator_(phosphor)

    Silver, added to zinc sulfide to produce a phosphor/scintillator used in radium dials, spinthariscopes, and as a common blue phosphor in color CRTs, and to zinc sulfide-cadmium sulfide used as a phosphor in black-and-white CRTs (where the ZnS/(Zn,Cd)S ratio determines the blue/yellow balance of the resulting white); short afterglow

  6. Energy profile (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_profile_(chemistry)

    Figure 1: Reaction Coordinate Diagram: Starting material or reactant A convert to product C via the transition state B, with the help of activation energy ΔG ≠, after which chemical energy ΔG° is released. Qualitatively, the reaction coordinate diagrams (one-dimensional energy surfaces) have numerous applications.

  7. Jablonski diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jablonski_diagram

    Jablonski diagram including vibrational levels for absorbance, non-radiative decay, and fluorescence. When a molecule absorbs a photon, the photon energy is converted and increases the molecule's internal energy level. Likewise, when an excited molecule releases energy, it can do so in the form of a photon.

  8. Ellingham diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellingham_diagram

    The Ellingham diagram plots the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for each oxidation reaction as a function of temperature. For comparison of different reactions, all values of ΔG refer to the reaction of the same quantity of oxygen, chosen as one mole O (1 ⁄ 2 mol O 2) by some authors [2] and one mole O 2 by others. [3] The diagram shown ...

  9. Woodward–Hoffmann rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward–Hoffmann_rules

    Thermolysis converts 1 to (E,E) geometric isomer 2, but 3 to (E,Z) isomer 4.. The Woodward–Hoffmann rules (or the pericyclic selection rules) [1] are a set of rules devised by Robert Burns Woodward and Roald Hoffmann to rationalize or predict certain aspects of the stereochemistry and activation energy of pericyclic reactions, an important class of reactions in organic chemistry.
