Essay
It is very well known that the reduction of particle
size of crystalline systems leads to important modifications of some
of their bulk properties. Taking advantage of these size-induced changes,
the design novel materials for advanced phosphor and photonic applications
becomes possible. In particular, luminescent inorganic materials doped
with trivalent lanthanide (Ln) ions have significantly enhanced optical
properties when prepared at the nanoscale compared to the bulk. These
include differences in luminescence efficiency, excited-state dynamics,
and upconversion. My doctoral thesis presented a detailed investigation
into the spectroscopic properties of novel luminescent inorganic nanocrystals
doped with trivalent lanthanide (Ln) ions. ...[more; pdf
