Profile

New phosphors and hybrid films including new methods of wet chemistry synthesis of nanoparticles, modified solid-state synthesis and characterization of the crystal structure and morphology as well as optical and time-resolved emission properties:

  1. single crystalline films and powder phosphors for detection of the ionizing radiation,
  2. hybrid (binder- powder or -nanoparticles) layers for the sun spectrum adaptation in greenhouses and solar cells
  3. storage powder phosphor and needle-structured layers for the digital radiography and medical diagnostics,
  4. storage phosphors in nano-scale as novel luminescence marker for the medicine and biology,
  5. physics and applications of the point defects in dielectric crystals.
