Luminescent Nanoparticles of Metal Oxides

This video recording is made available by the Nanotechnology Applications & Career Knowledge (NACK) and the Nanotechnology Collaborative Infrastructure Southwest (NCI-Southwest), and features a webinar presentation by Dr. Yuanbing Mao on luminescent nanoparticles of metal oxides. This presentation provides an introduction to luminescence before discussing photoluminescence and radioluminescence, persistent luminescence, and upconversion. Dr. Mao covers specific topics including molten salt synthesis processing, thermometry, and the potential applications of luminescence technology in medicine, security, and even nuclear waste immobilization. This video runs for 1:22:00 minutes in length.
