Luminescent Ceramics: Fundamentals, Properties, Processing and Applications provides a detailed review of luminescent ceramic materials for lighting, dosimetry and security. The book's chapters cover oxide, nitride and fluoride phosphors, garnet transparent ceramics, oxynitride and BeO ceramics, doped MgAl2O4 ceramics for dosimetry and novel thermo-luminescent ceramics for light emitting devices and security applications. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the unique possibilities offered by ceramic materials in the field of light emission and applications. It will be an essential reference resource for all researchers working in the area of luminescent materials.
Ghamsari, Morteza Sasani: - Dr. Morteza Sasani Ghamsari is a distinguished Associate Professor and senior researcher at the Photonics & Quantum Technologies Research School of the Iranian Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute. He received his B.Sc and M.Sc degrees from the Sharif University of Technology of Iran and PhD from the National University of Malaysia (UKM). His work focuses on photonic materials, including metamaterials, quantum dots, and plasmonic nanomaterials, with significant applications in nanophotonics. His recent interests also lie in quantum materials, including single photon sources such as boron nitride and SiC, diamond quantum dots, rare earth complexes, thin superconductor films, optical modulators and waveguids (ITO, Si3N4, AlN, TiO2, LiNbO3), and 2D materials such as graphene, and WSe2. He has edited five books, contributed to five book chapters, authored over 125 scientific journal articles, 27 conference papers and serves as an editorial board member of a few journals such as current nanomaterials. He collaborates extensively with both local and international researchers and is actively involved in supervising postgraduate students and research projects.
Park, Hyung-Ho: - Prof. Hyung-Ho Park received his PhD in Materials Science in 1988 from the University of Bordeaux I in France. After spending one year as a post-doctoral fellow in the chemistry laboratory of CNRS Bordeaux, he joined the ETRI in Korea in the field of processing and characterizing semiconductors. Currently (1995-), he is a professor in the Department of Material Science & Engineering of Yonsei University in Republic of Korea. His research focuses on the preparation, characterization, and application of various functional thin films including nano-particle preparation, nano-hybridization, and nanostructure formation. Nanohybrid materials include organic-inorganic hybrid aerogel materials by sol-gel procedure through in situ one-pot synthesis. Nanostructure formation involves the control of nano-pore size and distribution in various kinds of matrix materials. He studies next-generation nonvolatile memory device such as ReRAM based on perovskite Mn-oxides, perovskite BSTO thin films prepared by using ALD for applying them to piezoluminescent system, and mostly hybrid aerogel materials for using their thermal insulation and low dielectric properties. He is an author of more than 440 SCI(E) journal papers and serves as an editorial board member of more than 6 journals including Scientific Report.
