leading senior scientist in Luminescence Laboratory
of
Department of Optical Materials
Field of interests
- decay kinetics of heavy ns2 and rare earth ions in halide and oxide crystals and thin layers, energy transfer processes ;
- mechanism of scintillation and radiation damage in new scintillator crystals as CeF3, PbWO4 Yb- and Ce-doped Lutetium compounds;
- problems related the the excitonic emission and emission related to the various (intrinsic) point defect centres;
- quantum confinement effects in the foreign aggregated phases (quantum dots) in selected halide crystal matrices
