Tm/Yb-codoped ZrScWPO microparticles were prepared in order to solve the problems of the severe thermal quenching and unsatisfactory thermometric properties of most luminescent materials. The synthesized materials exhibit a rarely observed negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect, which was verified by X-ray diffraction experiments, performed under high temperature conditions. Upon excitation with a 980 nm laser, bright blue upconversion (UC) emissions originating from Tm were observed.

The impact of composition control and energy transfer on luminescence thermometry was investigated in a Tb/Eu dual-emitting molecular cluster-aggregate, known as {Ln}. The study of lifetime dynamics sheds new light on how one can take advantage of rational planning to enhance thermometric performance and gaining insights into intriguing optical properties.

In this study, a novel strategy is established to enhance the low-temperature sensing properties by controlling photochromic reaction process in NaBiTaO: Er/Yb samples. The maximum relative sensitivity reaches up to 5.

One of the simplest way to characterize the heating efficiency of magnetic fluids used in hyperthermia treatment is the calorimetric measurement of the specific loss power with direct temperature detection. However, the performance of metallic sensors in an alternating magnetic field is degraded by the self-heating of the probes, and electromagnetic interference can be also significant. In our double cell differential thermometric system these disturbing effects can be compensated.

Implantable radiofrequency transponders may be adequate for the characterization of hazardous chemicals targeting body temperature control in experimental animals when colonic probes and automated monitoring systems based on intraperitoneal transmitters are not available, installable or applicable for any reason. In this work, we summarize a series of experiments showing the implantation protocol and utility of rice-grain size transponders to monitor subcutaneous temperature (T) after exposure to pharmacological or toxicological treatments targeting body temperature control in laboratory rats. In addition, to explore the responsiveness of this thermometric system, the influence of physiological activity on T readings was examined by monitoring T after a motor exercise in a RotaRod system.
