Low-dimensional nanostructured

The advances in nanotechnology and synthesis methods have enabled nanomaterials to be produced in various shapes and structures. Coating of a luminescent layer activated by lanthanide ions on nanoparticles such as SiC>2 or AI2O3 is one of such approaches to develop new nanophosphors. In section 6, we review recent work on interesting spectroscopic features and luminescence dynamics of lanthanide ions in other novel low-dimensional nanostructures including core-shell, one-dimensional (ID) nanowires and nanotubes, two-dimensional (2D) nanofilms, hollow nanospheres, 2D nanosheet and nanodisk which have also attracted extensive attention. 

Wiesner reported a new class of LC ion-conductors capable of switching ionic conduction, as shown in Fig. 12 [75-77]. The molecules with PEO block and dendritic block 13 show several low dimensional nanostructures. 

The coefficients W determine the probabilities of third-order nonlinear optical processes in an unbounded crystal. An analogous expression can be derived for the coefficients determining the probabilities of fourth-order nonlinear optical processes. As already mentioned the derivation for multilevel molecules is rather complicated and has not yet been obtained. However, the simplicity of the final result, that is the simplicity of the nonlinear Hamiltonian, determines the simplicity of the calculations of nonlinear processes. Note also that a similar polariton approach can be applied for consideration of nonlinear processes in low-dimensional nanostructures (chains, quantum wells). For such structures just resonances of the pumping radiation with polaritons of low-dimensional structure and not with excitons will determine the resonances in the absorption of light as well as resonances in nonlinear processes.
