Derksen, M. (author), Bizinoto Ferreira Bosco, G. (author), Muller, Timo (author), van der Kolk, E. (author)The characterization of a wide range of luminescent thin films can be a long and tedious endeavor. With reactive combinatorial sputtering of multiple metal targets, it possible to fabricate thin films with a gradient in composition simply by not rotating the substrate. In this work, combinatorically sputtered thin films of Cr<sup>3+</sup> and...journal article 2024

van Blaaderen, J.J. (author), Biner, Daniel (author), Krämer, Karl W. (author), Dorenbos, P. (author)Lead halide perovskites are reportedly a very promising group of materials for scintillation due to their fast sub-nanosecond exciton luminescence, small band-gaps, and high theoretical light yield. Unfortunately, they only show emission at cryogenic temperatures. In this work single crystals of CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> and CsPbCl<sub>3</sub> are...journal article 2024

Lyu, Tianshuai (author), Dorenbos, P. (author), Wei, Zhanhua (author)Multimode luminescence relates to how charge carriers are transported and recombined in response to various physical excitations. It shows promising applications in many fields like advanced anti-counterfeiting, information storage and encryption. Enabling a stable single compound with multimode luminescence is a unique technology but still...journal article 2023

Merkx, E.P.J. (author)A luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is a concept from the 1970s that can find novel application as an electricity-generating window. An LSC converts sunlight to light of a different color by a process called luminescence. This light is transported to the edges of the LSC, where photovoltaic cells convert this incoming light to electricity....doctoral thesis 2020
