- A fluorescence that persists after the bombarding radiation has ceased
- (phosphorescent) emitting light without appreciable heat as by slow oxidation of phosphorous; "the phosphorescent glow of decaying wood"
- (Phosphorescent (band)) Phosphorescent is an indie folk/alt country band that is fronted by Matthew Houck. Phosphorescent formed in Athens, Georgia and is now based in Brooklyn, New York. The band is signed to Dead Oceans Records.
- A phosphorescent substance; Having the property of emitting light for a period of time after the source of excitation is taken away, e.g., in electrostatic storage tubes and cathode-ray tubes
- The emission of light (photons) from an excited triplet state where the electron in the excited orbital has the same spin orientation as its partner in the ground state. ...
- Emission of visible light by a substance, such as a mineral, that is exposed to ultraviolet light and absorbs radiation from it. The light appears in the form of glowing, distinctive colors. The emission continues after the exposure to ultraviolet light ends.
- Is a light emission which can occur over much longer times (sometimes hours) after irradiation. It involves storage of energy in metastable states and its release through relatively slow (often thermally activated) processes. The phenomenon was discovered early on for phosphorus.
- Luminescence that continues after the source of excitation has been removed; a so-to-speak afterglow.
- (1) a property of a certain class of films or coatings which utilizes the effect of light on chemical elements (phosphors) within the structure of the product to provide a visible color in the absence of a normal light source; (2) the luminous appearance of objects having this property.
