Nanophosphors
Nano-sized materials for light conversion
Our group develops new types of nanomaterials for light conversion applications. Those include semiconductor nanocrystals, mainly silicon, metal nanoclusters and rare-earth doped nanoparticles. We work both on fabrication and optical characterization, with down to a single-particle level resolution. Photonic structures and devices, such as Quantum Dot Glass for photovoltaics, based on these nanomaterials are also being developed and studied.
