Luminescence Phenomena: Materials and Applications

This symposium centers on the science and technology of luminescence, in its broader sense, including photo-, thermo-, electro- and mechano-luminescence. The aim is to gather international experts as well as students to discuss the recent progresses in this highly inter- and multi-disciplinary area, with particular attention to the synthesis characterization, and applications of materials exhibiting advanced luminescence properties.

The scope of the conference will cover the following areas:

•          Photoluminescence
•          Cathodoluminescence
•          Ionoluminescence
•          Bioluminescence
•          Thermoluminescence
•          Electroluminescence
•          Mechano-, Sono- and Chemi-Luminescence
•          Theoretical aspects of luminescence
•          Nanophosphors: Physics and materials
•          Crystalline, amorphous and glass-ceramic materials
•          Polymeric and hybrid materials
•          Novel Synthesis
•          Materials Characterization
•          Quantum cutting and up-conversion
•          Combination of luminescent and plasmonic effects
•          Light emitting devices
•          Displays
•          Solar cells
