(author), Vrubel, Ivan (author), Shendrik, Roman (author)Scintillators based on Ce-doped garnets are regularly co-doped with Mg<sup>2+</sup> or Ca<sup>2+</sup> to form Ce ions in 4+ state and reduce undesired afterglow. However overly high Ce<sup>4+</sup> concentration leads to poor light yield performance. In order to understand the reason for variation in luminescence efficiency of Ce<sup>3+</sup...journal article 2021

Felter, K.M. (author), Caselli, V.M. (author), Gunbas, D.D. (author), Savenije, T.J. (author), Grozema, F.C. (author)Two of the key parameters that characterize the usefulness of organic semiconductors for organic or hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells are the mobility of charges and the diffusion length of excitons. Both parameters are strongly related to the supramolecular organization in the material. In this work we have investigated the relation...journal article 2019

(author)The photoluminescence (PL) of poly(3-octyl-thiophene) (P3OT) thin films applied on TiO2 substrates is compared to the PL of P3OT films applied on quartz. Quenching of excitons occurs at the P3OT/TiO2 interface and not at the P3OT/quartz interface. Yet, in the former case the PL intensity is stronger than in the latter. In particular, P3OT films...journal article 2004
