Special Issue

CERAMICS INTERNATIONAL

An Elsevier journal (IF: 4.527)

Participants in PRE’22-Mexico and PRE’22-Poland Workshops are kindly invited to submit their full papers to this Special Issue. Contributions are also welcome from authors not attending PRE’22.
Ceramics International does not require publication fees; it also offers authors the choice to publish ‘gold open access’, that implies a publication fee.

Following the tradition of special issues of Elsevier journals on Photoluminescence of Rare Earths, we welcome submissions of novel research articles for a forthcoming issue of Ceramic International on Photoluminescence of Rare Earth Doped Materials.

Special issue information:

This special issue will be dedicated to both fundamental and application aspects of the photoluminescence phenomena arising in rare-earth-doped materials. This special issue is open to all papers dealing with its scope, and contributions arising from papers given at the PRE’22-Mexico and PRE’22-Poland symposia are most welcome.

High-quality research papers are solicited to address theoretical as well as practical issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Fundamental photoluminescence phenomena

  • Optical, spectroscopic and structural characterization of rare-earth-doped materials

  • Rare-earth-doped crystalline and polymeric materials

  • Rare-earth-doped glasses, transparent ceramics and glass-ceramic materials

  • Rare-earth complexes, metal-organic frameworks and perovskites

  • Rare-earth solid-state lasers and micro-chip lasers

  • Rare-earth optical fiber and integrated optical amplifiers and lasers

  • Phosphor materials for solid-state lighting and persistent phosphors

  • Scintillators

  • Rare-earth fluorescence thermometry

  • Photonic devices exploiting rare-earths’ characteristics

  • Micro- and nano-structured rare-earth-doped materials

  • Up- and down-conversion for telecom and photovoltaic applications

  • Rare-earth-doped nanoparticles for disease diagnosis and drug delivery

  • Applications in bioimaging

All submissions will be thoroughly refereed according to the high standards of Ceramics International.
