High-pressure Spectroscopy Laboratory

The laboratory is equipped with a set of portable chambers with diamond anvils enabling the application of high pressure (up to 30GPa) to the tested materials. The laboratory enables the following measurements as a function of pressure: excitation spectra of luminescence, Raman spectra, photoluminescence spectra and luminescence kinetics. The ability to measure excitation spectra or luminescence kinetics both as a function of pressure and temperature (10 - 600 K) makes it a unique laboratory on the global scale. The equipment enables basic research of luminescent materials: crystalline, thin-film, semiconductor, polymer, as well as hetero- and nanostructures as a function of pressure. These analyzes help to explain the nature of radiative and non-radiative transitions and broaden the knowledge about the energy structure of the studied materials.
