Rare earth ions doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are luminescent nanomaterials with the ability to convert low energy (infrared) photons into visible and ultraviolet radiation through energy transfer, cooperative and excited state absorption mechanisms. The IR excitation can be done with low-cost diode lasers and provides great advantage to the use of UCNPs in biological applicati…
This proposal aims to develop new micro and nanostructured luminescent materials based on ra-earth ions (TR:Sc, Y, La-Lu) with applications in the energy area, health, telecommunication, radiation detection, and safety. Different strategies will be undertaken to develop new luminescent materials focused on the energy converter area, such as i) Molecular light-converting devices through th…
Through fundamental research on structure-property relations, using complementary simulation, spectroscopic and functional characterization methods, we will map the "genome" and develop new active glasses and glass-ceramics with promising applications. For that, the core group of the Center will comprise 13 professors at USP and UFSCar (both located in São Carlos) who are experts in engin…
At the Laboratory of Spectroscopy of Functional Materials (LEMAF) in IFSC/USP, we carry out interdisciplinary research in the field optical and luminescent materials for photonic and biophotonic applications. Among the targeted materials are: 1) Glasses and glass ceramics doped with trivalent rare earth ions TR3+ for scintillators, solar concentrators and sensors; 2) Host-guest hybrids ba…
Nowadays, the shortening in accessibility of safe drinking water is a matter of worldwide concern due to various contaminants released into water bodies from industrial, human and animal sources, including microbial pathogens, which can be of greatest health concern. The use of chemical reagents like chlorine and ozone for disinfection of drinking water is widespread but results in disinf…
This proposal seeks to enhance electron injection, electron transport and optical absorption of nanostructured TiO2-based solar cells in order to improve their power conversion efficiency. Therefore, we propose TiO2-graphene nano-hybrid, featuring high electron transport, for the manufacture of efficient solar cells. TiO2-graphene nano-hybrids with various TiO2: graphene weight ratios are…

This project aims to develop novel materials for luminescent thermometry during a 4-month research internship in the Phantom-G group at the Center for Research in Ceramics and Composite Materials (CICECO) at the University of Aveiro in Aveiro, Portugal, as part of the BEPE/FAPESP Doctoral Program. Accurately measuring temperature at the nanoscale presents a significant challenge. To tackl…
This project addresses the research internship for a period of 8 months at the "Institut de la Matière Condensée de Bordeaux", University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France, thanks to the FAPESP for funding doctoral mobility. The aim of this work is to make new contributions in the development of photosensitive oxyfluoride glasses and femtosecond laser inscription of such glasses for the gener…
This project addresses the research internship at the Intelligent Materials Chemistry (IMC) group at the University of Turku in Finland, through the BEPE/FAPESP Postdoctoral program for 12 months. This project aims to develop new efficient and heavy metal-free white persistent luminescence (PersL) materials embedded into glass hosts. Solid-state white lighting has called attention due to …
For a long time, cancer and bacterial infectious have been among the major causes of deaths worldwide. Despite enormous developments in the fields of diagnosis and treatments, there is still an urgent need for generic, accurate and point-of-care platforms capable of enabling the rapid and precocious diagnostics of such diseases in order toallow faster and more adequate treatment. In this …
