Kohale Assistant Professor and Head of Department, SGM College, Nag., India. Dr. Ritesh L. Kohale is an Assistant Professor and Head of the Department of Physics, SGM College, Nagpur, India. His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of pyrophosphate-based phosphors for solid-state lighting, and on nanostructured materials for display technologies. He has published more than 40 research papers in international and national reviewed journals and also he has edited book in Nova Science Publisher. He is an editorial board member of American Journal of Optics and Photonics. Sanjay J. Dhoble Professor, Department of Physics, R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur, India. Sanjay J. Dhoble is a Professor in the Department of Physics at R.T.M. Nagpur University, India. During his research career, he has worked on the synthesis and characterization of solid-state lighting materials, as well as the development of radiation dosimetry phosphors using thermoluminescence techniques and utilization of fly ash. Hendrik C. Swart Senior Professor, Department of Physics, University of Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. Hendrik C. Swart is a senior professor in the Department of Physics at the University of the Free State, South Africa. His research investigates the degradation of phosphors for field emission displays, as well as developing materials for nano solid-state lighting. He has been key in the development of processes to synthesize and deposit thin films of several types of semiconductor nanoparticles to enhance the color, luminescent intensity, and lifetime of such displays.
