Program:
Spectroscopic and time-resolved luminescence is a powerful tool for investigating the properties of emitting centers in different hosts and the dynamics of energy-transfer processes. Different sources can be used to excite the luminescent emission of the samples, as photons, electrons, ions...
In the present course, we will refer specifically to photoluminescence (PL), in which a light beam (typically in the UV-vis-IR range) is used as the excitation source. The basic principles of photoluminescence will be presented and the main experimental issues in the realization of spectroscopic and time-resolved PL measurements will be discussed. It will be also shown and described the photoluminescence facility available at the Luminescence Laboratory of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and how spectral and time-resolved PL measurements are set-up and analyzed.
Dates:
The
theoretical introduction to the technique will be held on Monday,
05/02/2024 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in room P2A at the Paolotti
Complex.
The laboratory will be held at the Luminescence and
Nonlinear Optics Laboratory (ground floor - Physics and Astronomy
Department, 8 Marzolo Street). Due to the small size of the lab, those
enrolled in the course will be divided into groups of three to four
students, and the shifts will begin on Monday 05/02/2024 from 2:30 p.m.
and continue on Tuesday 06/02 and Wednesday 07/02.
