Nano removes limits in the research to nanostructures. Hasselt University
Dye-sensitized up/down conversion in lanthanide nano materials Ghent University
Inorganic lanthanide-doped nano particles decorated with organic dyes will be synthesized and optimized towards up and down conversion, to obtain state-of-the-art materials that will enable wavelength conversion of parts of the solar spectrum, in order to increase the efficiency in photovoltaic technology. Making use of lanthanide coordination chemistry, highly efficient as well as stable luminescent nano materials will be developed

Effects of particle size on the luminescence of doped semiconductors: from bulk to nano Ghent University
Luminescent materials are currently intensively used for lighting, signalling and display applications. Often, rare earth doped materials are used, for which the behaviour at a macroscopic level is well-known. The proposed fundamental research aims at the effects of the reduction of the size of the host lattice (to a nano scale) on the emission properties of the dopant ion, by evaluation of the emission spectrum, the quantum efficiency and ...
