Functional solid-state materials display unique properties and responses under applied or static fields or forces. Our group is interested in fundamental aspects as well as industrial potential of these materials. In this talk, our research on different functional materials will be discussed: (1) oxide phosphors for temperature sensing, (2) germanate-based phosphors for LED lighting, and (3) thermoelectric materials for waster heat recovery. I will outline some of the challenges in each field and how we address those challenges through the material design.
Dr. Yurij Mozharivskyj is a professor at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, McMaster. He obtained his Ph.D. at Iowa State University and did postdoctoral training at the Ames Laboratory of US DoE, before joining McMaster University in 2005. Dr. Mozharivskyj received an Early Research Award (MRI, Ontario), Young Scientist Award (American Crystallographic Association), and Lash Miller Award (Canada Section of Electrochemical Society). His research focuses on discovery, understanding and optimization of functional solid-state materials. His group’s research on thermoelectric materials is geared towards development of low-cost, stable and environmentally friendly materials for waste heat recovery. His research on oxides aims to develop functional materials for temperature sensing and lighting.
