| Description | This chapter is about the optical properties of solids. These properties can arise from defects in the solid, from the electronic structure of the solid as a whole, or from the structure of the solid. Examples are used to illustrate the effects. Defects are involved in ruby lasers, phosphors for LEDs, and colour centers. Absorption and emission of radiation by electrons in bands are exemplified by GaAs lasers, LEDs, and photovoltaic (solar) cells. Carbon-based conducting polymers which can be used in LEDs and photovoltaic cells are described. As well as absorption and emission of radiation, the chapter also considers its refraction and how this affects calcite crystals and optical fibers. The properties of photonic crystals depend on the arrangement of two materials of different refractive index. The refractive index of metamaterials depends on their structure. Metamaterials with negative refractive indices find use as superlenses and cloaks of invisibility. Book Name: Solid State Chemistry |
