Luminescent Thermometry (eBook, PDF)

Applications and Uses

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a detailed, state-of-the-art account of the applications and uses of luminescence thermometry. It covers a wide range of fields, including biomedicine, biology, and catalysis. The book also explains the luminescence thermometric parameters used to sense temperature via luminescence with different materials, analyzing the different strategies used to improve thermal sensitivity and temperature resolution.

The readers of this book are any researcher interested in the field, because of its topical coverage, as well as bachelor and graduate students, as an introduction to this novel field. The book ends with a general critical analysis of the results presented, where the editors discuss about the challenges and opportunities in the development of these highly sensitive new class of thermometers.

Autorenporträt

Joan J. Carvajal obtained his Bachelor in Chemistry (1997), Master in Experimental Chemistry (2001) and PhD in Chemistry (2003, FI fellowship) at the University Rovira i Virgili (URV), Tarragona, Spain, developing self-frequency doubling lasers. After occupying a post-doctoral Fulbright fellow position during 2 years at Stony Brook University, working on crystal growth of nanostructures of wide bandgap semiconductor through Chemical Vapor Deposition, in 2006 he was awarded with a Ramon y Cajal position in Materials Science, back at the URV, where he is Associate Professor since 2011.

He is co-author of more than 225 papers in international scientific journals.

He is co-author of a book chapter in the Springer Handbook on Crystal Growth, Springer-Verlag, 2010 in the 21st Century Nanoscience Handbook, CRC Press, 2020 and in “Short-wavelength infrared windows for biomedical applications”, SPIE, 2022.

He has supervised 8 PhD Thesis in the fields of integrated photonics, structuration of non-linear optical materials to develop diffraction gratings, the concept of down-shifting in polymeric solar cells to increase their efficiency, production of porous GaN through CVD and luminescence nano thermometry. At present, he is supervising 2 additional PhD Theses on developing luminescent carbonaceous materials that can act simultaneously as catalysts and luminescent sensors of temperature, pH and pressure, and measuring the impact of the training programs for doctoral supervisors.

He is the Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry of the URV since 2022. Since 2019 he is Visiting Professor at the Harbin Engineering University (Harbin, China). He is also founding member of the Group of Trainers for the Professionalization of the Doctoral Supervision at the URV.

Maria Cinta Pujol born in 1973, is a member of the Department of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry at the URV M. C. Pujol’s research career started in 1997, with her collaboration in the research performed in the group of physical chemistry, just after she became a member of the group Physics and Crystallography of Materials.

M.C. Pujol graduated from URV with a degree in Chemistry in 1996 and later achieved a PhD from the same University in 2001. From that time, she has been always working in the field of material physics, and more specially related with optical materials. During her post-doctoral stage at the Institute from Transuranium Elements (ITU, Karlsruhe, Germany), during 2002 and 2003, she was engaged in the preparation and synthesis of new ceramic UO2 compounds. In 2004, she leaded her own project related to the synthesis of nanocrystals and their characterization in the framework of RyC program supported by the Education and Science Ministry of Spain. Later on, she became associate professor in 2010, till 2022; when she recently obtained the position of Professor in the same Department of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry at the URV.

She has supervised 10 PhD thesis, around 20 master thesis, and also graduated research works. Her research has been published in more than 150 papers. Her profile of research conforms to a strong basis in material physics and crystallophysics; synthesis of nanocrystals and their optical characterization. Currently, her research interests are related to the use of the light emitting nanoparticles to be used as nanosensors.
