  2. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    This layer also reflects the phosphor light to the desired direction, and protects the phosphor from ion bombardment resulting from an imperfect vacuum. To reduce the image degradation by reflection of ambient light, contrast can be increased by several methods. In addition to black masking of unused areas of screen, the phosphor particles in ...

  3. Allotropes of phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_phosphorus

    Violet phosphorus (right) by a sample of red phosphorus (left) Hitorff's phosphorus structure. Monoclinic phosphorus, violet phosphorus, or Hittorf's metallic phosphorus is a crystalline form of the amorphous red phosphorus. [14] [15] In 1865, Johann Wilhelm Hittorf heated red phosphorus in a sealed tube at 530 °C. The upper part of the tube ...

  4. Phosphorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

    Phosphorus is classified as a pnictogen, together with nitrogen, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and moscovium. Phosphorus is an element essential to sustaining life largely through phosphates, compounds containing the phosphate ion, PO 4 3−. Phosphates are a component of DNA, RNA, ATP, and phospholipids, complex compounds fundamental to cells.

  5. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_reflectance...

    Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, or diffuse reflection spectroscopy, is a subset of absorption spectroscopy.It is sometimes called remission spectroscopy.Remission is the reflection or back-scattering of light by a material, while transmission is the passage of light through a material.

  6. Phosphorus cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_cycle

    The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that involves the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.Unlike many other biogeochemical cycles, the atmosphere does not play a significant role in the movement of phosphorus, because phosphorus and phosphorus-based materials do not enter the gaseous phase readily, [1] as the main source of gaseous phosphorus ...

  7. Oxypnictide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxypnictide

    In chemistry, oxypnictides are a class of materials composed of oxygen, a pnictogen (group-V, especially phosphorus and arsenic) and one or more other elements. Although this group of compounds has been recognized since 1995, [1] interest in these compounds increased dramatically after the publication of the superconducting properties of LaOFeP and LaOFeAs which were discovered in 2006 [2] and ...

  8. 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).

  9. Phosphorene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorene

    It consists of a single layer of black phosphorus, the most stable allotrope of phosphorus. [1] Phosphorene is analogous [ 2 ] to graphene (single layer graphite ). Among two-dimensional materials , phosphorene is a competitor to graphene because it has a nonzero fundamental band gap that can be modulated by strain and the number of layers in a ...
