Head : | Ph.D. Victor Verlan |
Duration : | 2016 – 2018 |
Division(s) : | Laboratory of Optoelectronics “Andrei Andriesh” |
The objectives of the project:
Development of a novel technology for preparation of photoluminescent nanocomposite materials made of polymer/organic compounds with Eu(III) with up- and down- conversion and extended spectral response to UV and NIR. The optimal ionic and neutral ligands for coordination of rare-earth ions will be selected for a specific organic compound in order to increase the compatibility with different polymers.
Characterization of nanocomposites with organic compounds by photoluminescence, Raman, UV/VIS and IR spectroscopies, etc. Theoretical and experimental investigation of the mechanism of energy transfer from the polymer matrix and the ligands to the rare earth.
Development of a new Eu(III) based polymer/organic nanocomposit and of photovoltaic structure with extended to UV and NIR spectral response and enhanced light harvesting.
