Photoluminescence of gold, copper and niobium as a function of temperature (2009)
Journal Article
Armstrong, H., Halliday, D., & Hampshire, D. (2009). Photoluminescence of gold, copper and niobium as a function of temperature. Journal of Luminescence, 129(12), 1610-1614. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jlumin.2009.04.022

A specially constructed instrument for measuring the low intensity photoluminescence emission spectra of metals is described. It uses low luminescence optical components and dedicated sample mounting techniques. Room temperature measurements agree cl...
