Synthesis and characterizations of YZ-BDC:Eu,Tb nanothermometers for luminescence-based temperature sensing.

In the present work, nanothermometers based on amorphous zirconium metal-organic frameworks co-doped with rare-earth ions (YZ-BDC:Eu,Tb nanothermometers) with sizes of about 10-30 nm were successfully synthesized a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method at 120 °C for 15 min. The determined BET surfaces area, total pore volume and average pore diameter were ∼530 m g, 0.45 cm g and 3.

Synergy between NIR luminescence and thermal emission toward highly sensitive NIR operating emissive thermometry.

There are many figures of merit, which determine suitability of luminescent thermometers for practical applications. These include thermal sensitivity, thermal accuracy as well as ease and cost effectivness of technical implementation. A novel contactless emission thermometer is proposed, which takes advantage of the coexistence of photoluminescence from Nd doping ions and black body emission in transparent Nd doped-oxyfluorotellurite glass host matrix.

Thermochromic Luminescent Nanomaterials Based on Mn/Tb Codoping for Temperature Imaging with Digital Cameras.

A new thermographic nanocrystalline SrAlO:Mn,Tb phosphor was developed, and the concentrations of both dopants and the synthesis conditions were optimized. The combination of the thermally quenched luminescence from the Mn ions to the almost temperature-independent emission from Tb provides a sensitive luminescent thermometer ( = 2.8%/°C at 150 °C) with strong emission color variability.

Fabrication and characterization of up-converting β-NaYF:Er,Yb@NaYF core-shell nanoparticles for temperature sensing applications.

This paper presents the use of soft template method to synthesize core and core-shell up-converting nanoparticles usefull for temperature sensing applications. Based on the stock solutions of core β-NaYF:Er,Yb nanoparticles and involving soft template method without any additional process of surface functionalization, it is possible to directly design the core-shell β-NaYF:Er,Yb@NaYF nanoparticles, which can be perfectly dispersed in cyclohexane and surfactants like oleic acid (OA), triethanolamine (TEA) or Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The morphological, crystalline and elemental characteristics of samples were investigated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy, Selected Area Electron Diffraction patterns and Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) measurements.

Phosphor-Assisted Temperature Sensing and Imaging Using Resonant and Nonresonant Photoexcitation Scheme.

Phosphor-assisted luminescent thermometry relies on studying, often subtle, temperature-dependent spectral properties, such as luminescence spectra, bands shifts, or luminescence lifetimes. Although this is feasible with high-resolution spectrometers or time-resolved detectors, technical implementation of such temperature mapping or wide-field imaging is complex and cumbersome. Therefore, a new approach for noncontact ratiometric temperature detection has been proposed based on comparison of emission properties of bright Cr-doped phosphors at single emission band upon two, resonant and nonresonant, optical excitation bands.
