About

Vijay B. Pawade is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at the Laxminarayan Innovation Technological University Nagpur India. His research focuses on rare earth-doped oxide materials and their applications in LEDs solar cell devices and photocatalytic processes. Sanjay J. Dhoble is a Professor in the Department of Physics at R.T.M. Nagpur University India. During his research career he has worked on the synthesis and characterization of solid-state lighting materials as well as the development of radiation dosimetry phosphors using thermoluminescence techniques and utilization of fly ash. Karthik N. Shinde is an Assistant Professor and the Director of R&D at N.S. Science and Arts College Bhadrawati India. His research interests are focused on the synthesis of nanocrystalline materials and exploring novel materials and studying their PL and TL properties. Hendrik C. Swart is a Senior Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of the Free State South Africa. Over the past 22 years he has led research in the degradation of phosphors for field emission displays as well as developing materials for nano solid-state lighting. He has been key in the development of processes to synthesize and deposit thin films of several types of semiconductor nanoparticles to enhance the color luminescent intensity and lifetime of such displays.
