Synthesis, Photoluminescence, and Laser Characteristics of Rare Earth Ions Embedded in HEMA, a Polymeric Plastic Host
In the past 12 months, my students and I have been actively engaged in Syntheses, Photoluminescence, and Laser Characteristics of Rare Earth Ions Embedded in Polymeric Plastic Host. A total of four papers have been published in a refereed journal. In addition, two papers were presented at the Texas Section of the APS meeting at Texas A&M University in October 2007. The ACS-PRF support has been acknowledged in all of our papers presented and published. All of these resulted from this award that has helped us achieve all these successes. Without this, we would not be able to carry out such an important and rewarding research program. Currently, one highly motivated undergraduate student is being trained with this award.
