Luminescent Nanoparticles of Metal Oxides

This video, provided by the Nanotechnology Applications & Career Knowledge (NACK) and the Nanotechnology Collaborative Infrastructure Southwest (NCI-Southwest), 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. Also included are the presentation slides used by Dr. Mao. This video runs for 1:22:00 minutes in length.
