Lanthanide-Doped Aluminate Phosphors

Dr. Atul N. Yerpude earned his Ph.D. degree in 2014 on “Development and characterization of inorganic long lasting phosphors” from Nagpur University, Nagpur, India. Currently he works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, N. H. College, Bramhapuri, India. He has published more than twenty international peer-reviewed journal papers on the topic. His research focuses on the synthesis and development of long-lasting phosphors for emerging lighting and displays. Also he works on the development of phosphor materials and their applications for solid-state lighting. 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. Dr. Lehlohonolo Fortune Koao is a C2 NRF rated researcher who is currently working at University of the Free. He is currently involved in the research projects of synthesis and characterization of structural nanomaterials especially for applications in light-emitting materials and energy storage materials. His research interest is also in polymer science. He is collaborating with the Nelson Mandela University (NMU), University of the Free State (Main campus), CSIR in Pretoria, University of Zululand, University of Agriculture Makurdi (Nigeria) and R.T.M. Nagpur University (India). He has published his work in many accredited international journals. He has published more than 60 research papers as either first or co-author in peer-reviewed journals and two book chapters. He also serves as a reviewer or referee for more than 10 international journals.
