| Contents | Methods and materials for obtaining photon emission from a nanomaterial subjected to external stimuli. Relationship between physico-chemical properties and dimensionality of materials in modulating the radiative response. Selection criteria for nanomaterials that allow reflection, transmission, propagation or amplification of electromagnetic radiation. |
| Reference texts | Teaching material recommended and / or made available by the teacher |
| Educational objectives | Regularly following the course regularly and successfully, the student will acquire: - knowledge of the principles that determine the radiative behaviour of organic or inorganic nanomaterials; - ability to rationalize the optical phenomena and being able to describe them, using the models acquired; - ability to use a technical-scientific language appropriate to the problems dealt with. |
| Prerequisites | In order to be able to understand the contents and follow the course successfully, the student should have acquired the basic knowledge relating to: - Maxwell's equations - Quantum basis of the interaction between radiation and matter. |
| Teaching methods | The course consists of class lectures (for a total of 6 CFUs) on all subjects of the course using video devices. |
| Other information | For information concerning DSA students please visit the web page http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa |
| Learning verification modality | The evaluation is conducted by an oral exam, which consists of a discussion lasting about 40-45 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and understanding achieved by students on the theoretical and methodological implications mentioned in the program. The oral exam will also test the communication skills of the student to make use of the proper scientific language and the ability to apply theoretical concepts to practical experiments. |
| Extended program | The course aims to give the basic concepts of the interaction between nanostructured materials and electromagnetic radiation to rationalize the processes of propagation, absorption, emission and concentration of light based on the properties of the materials and their composition / structure. The program of the course is structured as follows: - Review of the laws of radiation propagation in a homogeneous medium - Effect of interfaces on the propagation of light. - PROPAGATION OF RADIATION IN MEDIA WITH FINITE AND RESTRICTED GEOMETRY: - construction of wave guides - construction of light radiation concentrators - solar concentrators - - PROCESSES OF DISSIPATION IN MEDIA WITH FINISHED AND RESTRICTED GEOMETRY: - spontaneous emission processes - emission with spatially controlled patterns - luminescent solar concentrators - stimulated emission processes - Qdots-Laser - energy transfer processes and efficiencies in finite and nanometric geometries - RADIATION AMPLIFICATION PROCESSES ON NANOMETRIC SCALE: - Nano-plasmonic effect. - TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS: description and discussion of numerous examples of use of the processes and phenomena treated, in the technological field in relation to the fields of communications, optical devices, sensors, bio-medicine optical circuits, etc ... |
| Obiettivi Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile | The course is consistent with the Agenda 2030 objectives for sustainable development; the course addresses allows you to acquire the basic knowledge needed to guarantee the understanding of the interactions between electromagnetic radiation and materials. The skills acquired will allow us to develop devices to improve the well-being of all people and optimize the exploitation of electromagnetic radiation. |
