Project: advanced studies of optical and X-ray spectroscopy to master the charge transfer processes in luminescent materials.
The postdoctoral fellow will join the scientific cooperation involving the Institute of Chemistry at USP, the LNLS-CNPEM (Sirius) and the University of Ghent, Belgium. The bilateral project aims to identify the chemical and structural nature of defects in materials with persistent luminescence, developing a methodology based on a fast X-ray absorption technique combined with light irradiation.
