The All-Russian conference with international participation LUMOS‑2024, dedicated to the theoretical and practical aspects of the luminescence phenomenon (https://lumos‑2024.ru/), was held in Moscow. The main organizer of the event was the Faculty of Chemistry and the Faculty of Materials Sciences of Lomonosov Moscow State University with the active participation of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
The conference was co-chaired by RAS Academicians S. N. Kalmykov and K. A. Solntsev, scientific secretary is Prof. V. V. Utochnikova The program committee included RAS Academicians V. P. Ananikov, Yu. G. Gorbunova, I. L. Fedyushkin; RAS Corresponding members A. Yu. Bobrovsky, S. P. Gromov, E. V. Zagainova, V. K. Ivanov, S. A. Ponomarenko, S. A. Tarasenko, A. A. Trifonov, V. P. Fedin, A. V. Shevelkov, RAS Professor A. A. Fedyanin; professors M. V. Zamoryanskaya, D. Yu. Parashchuk, O. A. Fedorova, as well as foreign colleagues Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fang Yu (Shaanxi Normal University, China) and Prof. J.-C. G. Bünzli (EPFL, Switzerland).
The conference covered the main sections in the field: (1) New inorganic phosphors. (2) New phosphors based on organic molecules, macromolecules and biomolecules. (3) Luminescent materials for imaging and theranostics. (4) Application of luminescence for biomedical applications. (5) New technologies and devices for visualizing luminescence, including in-vivo. (6) Nanocrystals, quantum dots and quantum wells, nanostructured materials. (7) Dynamics of excited states and ultrafast processes, excitons, polaritons. (8) Photoelectric and photocatalytic phenomena and materials. (9) Coherent, nonlinear spectroscopy, high-resolution spectroscopy, quantum emitters, quantum technologies. (10) Electroluminescence of organic and inorganic media. (11) Phosphorescence and luminescence with afterglow. (12) Theory and modeling of luminescent phenomena. (13) New methods and applications of luminescence.
The conference attracted significant attention from the scientific community, demonstrating an unfading interest to the scientific field of luminescence and its applications in modern technologies. Being initially an interdisciplinary field, luminescence in recent decades has increasingly become a key unifying tool both in solving a wide range of fundamental problems and in the development of new technologies at the intersection of physics, chemistry and materials science, medicine and pharmacology, biology and genetics, geology, microelectronics, quantum technologies and, of course, photonics. The special interdisciplinary status of the conference was confirmed by the participation of leading scientists, representatives of various branches of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Branch of Chemistry and Materials Sciences, Branch of Physical Sciences, Branch of Nanotechnologies and Information Technologies, Branch of Medical Sciences. This is clearly demonstrated by the themes of the plenary lectures given by the RAS Corresponding members Mikhail Glazov, Elena Zagainova, Andrei Naumov, Sergey Ponomarenko, Sergey Tikhodeev; the RAS Professor Anna Rodina; as well as by Profs. M. A. Green, D. Yu. Parashchuk, S. P. Tunik, I. V. Yampolsky, R. B. Vasiliev.
The scientific program was opened by RAS Corresponding Member, Doctor of Chemical Sciences S.A Ponomarenko (Director of the Enikolopov ISPM RAS) with the lecture “Branched and nanostructured organic phosphors”, dedicated to the latest achievements in the field of creating branched phosphors [1]. In the first day evening session, a plenary lecture was presented by the RAS Corresponding Member, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences A. V. Naumov (Head of the Troitsk Branch of the Lebedev Physical Institute RAS, head of Chair at the Moscow Pedagogical State University, head of the ISAN department) with the lecture “Luminescence spectroscopy and nanoscopy of single quantum emitters: achievements and prospects.” The review lecture summarizes the achievements in this field of science (noted by the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry) and the latest research carried out by this scientific group [2,3]. Another report on the physics of luminescent processes was made by RAS Corresponding Member, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. M. M. Glazov. His lecture “Excitons and tritons in atomically thin semiconductors: fine structure and optical properties” contains, among other things, the results presented in [4,5].
The lecture on the targeted synthesis of new compounds for bioapplications was presented by Prof. Tunic S. P. “Phosphorescent PLIM sensors for oxygen and pH; new approaches to solving problems of biocompatibility and selectivity” [6]. It is interesting that on the last day, the tasks of luminescent (fluorescent) bioimaging were also discussed from the point of view of biomedicine: in the lecture “Fluorescent imaging for problems of regenerative medicine” as presented by RAS Corresponding Member, Doctor of Medical Sciences E. V. Zagainova. The lecture touched upon, among other things, the development of time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy for biological applications [7]. Fluorescence imaging in medicine was also the topic of the report given by Prof. Dr. M. A. Grin “Macroheterocycles of porphyrin nature and their metal complexes for fluorescent imaging in oncology” [8].
Two lectures were devoted to various aspects of the luminescence of colloidal nanocrystals (that is topic of latest Nobel Prize in chemistry 2023): the lecture of Prof. Dr. Vasiliev R. B. “Chiral 2D organic-inorganic semiconductors based on AIIBVI compounds for photonics” [9], and lecture of RAS Professor A. V. Rodina “Exciton photoluminescence of semiconductor colloidal nanocrystals: from magnetic polaron to optical alignment” [10]. Organic optoelectronics was presented in the report of Prof. Dr. D. Yu Parashchuk “Organic light transistors” [11]. Plenary lecture of RAS Corresponding Member, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences S. G. Tikhodeev discussed sources of circularly polarized light “Compact sources of circularly polarized light based on chiral metamaterials” [12]. Finally, interesting results in the field of bioluminescence were presented by Prof. Dr. I. V. Yampolsky on the topic “Luminescence of living organisms: from fundamental mechanisms to synthetic biology”. [13]
The most diverse coverage of the current state of science in the field of luminescence is also confirmed by the topics of invited reports given by RANS Acad., Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences O. S. Vasyutinsky, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Prof. P. A. Ryabochkina, Doctor of Biological Sciences A. V. Feofanov, Doctor of Chemical Sciences Prof. D. A. Gorin, Doctor of Chemical Sciences M. N. Brekhovskikh, Doctor of Chemical Sciences G. V. Zyryanov, Doctor of Chemical Sciences P. A. Panchenko, Doctor of Chemical Sciences A. V. Artemiev, Doctor of Chemical Sciences A. S. Potapov, Doctor of Technical Sciences A. V. Dunaev, Dr. M. V. Rakhlin, Dr. I. Yu. Eremchev, Dr. E. A. Shirshin, Dr. V. I. Shcheslavsky, Dr. A. A. Pakhomov, Dr. D. S. Saranin.
In total, more than 300 scientists participated in the conference (more than 250 in person) from almost 100 organizations, 23 cities of the Russian Federation, as well as the Republic of Belarus, Latvia and China.
At the final session of the LUMOS‑2024 conference, the scientific secretary Prof. V. V. Utochnikova summarized the results of the event, which actually resumed a series of successful All-Union meetings on luminescence, organized by the USSR Academy of Sciences on the initiative of Academician S. I. Vavilov, starting in 1944, with the active participation of specialized organizations: P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute, A. F. Ioffe Physics-Technical Institute, M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, V. I. Lenin Moscow State Pedagogical Institute (now MPGU), S. I. Vavilov State Optical Institute, scientific institutes of Belarus and many others.
RAS Corr. Member Prof. Dr. A. V. Naumov spoke about the history of the meetings on luminescence. It was noted that in total, from 1944 to 1991, more than 30 such meetings were held (see the series of reporting publications by Academician P. P. Feofilov in the journal Uspekhi Fizicheskikh Nauk https://ufn.ru/ru/authors/10468/feofilov-p-p/), which became iconic in the development of science and technology. In addition some famous meetings are held up to the present time: the Vavilov readings of the Lebedev Physical Institute; the International Feofilov Symposium on the spectroscopy of crystals doped with rare earth elements and transition metal ions [14,15]; International youth conference on luminescence and laser physics at the Irkutsk branch of the Institute of Laser Physics of the RAS Siberian Branch; as well as the major International Conference on Luminescence (ICL), to the formation and development of which domestic scientific schools also made a great contribution (in particular, Academician A. A. Kaplyansky, and Prof. S. P. Feofilov from the A. F. Ioffe Physics-Technical Institute RAS). Meetings were held in various cities of the USSR (Irkutsk, Kyiv, Chisinau, Leningrad, Lvov, Minsk, Moscow, Riga, Samarkand, Stavropol, Tartu, Tbilisi, Kharkov, Ezernieki, etc.).
It is interesting to note that over the past decades, many historical theses formulated by the founding fathers of the scientific direction of luminescence continue to remain relevant, of course, already at a new turn of the historical spiral. In particular, the thesis formulated following the results of the 2nd All-Union Conference “The main and fundamental lesson that can be drawn from the entire centuries-old history of luminescence is, as S. I. Vavilov pointed out, in the necessity and extreme importance of strengthening the connection between theory and practice. Under this sign of the closest unity of theory and practice, all the work of the Conference took place, at which, along with deep theoretical research, works of important applied significance were presented.” [16]
Taking into account the high scientific, technological and historical significance of the direction of luminescence, the decision of the All-Russian Conference on Luminescence LUMOS‑2024 was:
Acknowledge the organizing committee of LUMOS 2024, Moscow State University. M. V. Lomonosov, the scientific secretary, Prof. Dr. V. V. Utochnikova for the highest level of organization of the conference, which actually resumed a series of thematic meetings.
Conduct the All-Russian conference with international participation LUMOS on a regular basis at least once in every 3 years. If possible, the dates of the event should be coordinated with specialized symposiums (ICL, Feofilov, etc.).
When approving the regulations for the LUMOS conference, take into account the history of the All-Union Meetings on Luminescence (1944–1991).
To maintain continuity, involve in the organization of the conference (by agreement) the Russian Academy of Sciences (including specialized thematic and regional departments), as well as the institutes that were at the origins of organizing a series of symposia on luminescence and continuing work in this direction (P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute RAS, A. F. Ioffe Physics-Technical Institute RAS, institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus, Moscow Pedagogical State University, etc.). The Program Committee should consider expanding its membership with the involvement of representatives of these organizations who are leading experts in this field and related areas of science and technology.
In accordance with the practice of leading domestic and international conferences, recommend alternating the regions of the conference while maintaining the theme of the conference and the program committee. The choice of region is carried out by a general decision of the LUMOS program committee in agreement with the organizations that submitted their candidacies (in the case of several proposals, on a competitive basis).
It was decided to hold the next All-Russian Conference on Luminescence with international participation LUMOS in 2026 in a region that will be determined by the decision of the program committee.
