Present a survey on photoluminescence due to transition metals. Can you give me some ideas as to what to put in this survey

So.  Google for photoluminescence.   When they mention a transition metal, write down what you read.  Heh.  Pretty straightforward,but I don't usually use "survey" in that way.
