The Wrocław Doctoral School of Institutes of Polish Academy of Sciences (WDS IPAS) announces special recruitment for a Ph.D. student scholarship in IV edition of the program "Implementation doctorate I" – Theme 3: "Investigation and application of laser induced emission in carbon materials", funded by Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland (Project ID 485802 in OSF system, Reg. no. DWD/4/40/2020), and carried out under the supervision of Prof. Wiesław Stręk the Division of Optical Spectroscopy of ILT&SR PAS in cooperation with the company Nanores Sp. z o. o. Sp. k. in Wrocław. 

 

  1. Description of Theme 3:

LEDs are commonly applied light sources in lighting systems and displays. However, the application of coherent light sources (laser) might be a new attractive solution in view of energy efficiency. The application of laser-induced white emission of graphene materials is very promising. Similar properties are demonstrated by other carbon materials like nanodiamonds. The purpose of research project within the framework of the application doctorate is the development of technology for the construction of white light sources based on graphene and other carbon-like hybrids in laser-like lighting systems.

 

  1. Additional information

The Ph.D. student program is performed based on the Communication of 29.05.2019 of MNiSW on the establishment of the "Implementation Doctorate" program (Communication of MNiSW) that grants the Ph.D. fellowship, defined in the Act of 20 July 2018 – Law on higher education and science (Dz. U. no. 1668 as amended) in article 209 paragraph 1, as below.
