Luminescence of sensitive materials: towards new optical sensing
Résumé
In the last decades, considerable efforts have been carried out to develop new tools and knowledge in the domain of functionalized materials, for application ranging information, lighting, communication, energy, optical sources or detection. To couple an optical answer with another property is possible through the follow-up of the luminescence. The control of the structural symmetry, oxidation state or surface chemistry enables the chemists to precisely tune the emission. Illustrations will be provided on inorganic powder and crystal materials.
