A new naphthylsalophen and its 3 : 2 ligand-to-lanthanide sandwich-type complexes were isolated. When excited at 380 nm, the complexes display the characteristic metal-centred emission for Nd, Er and Yb. Upon 980 nm excitation, in mixed lanthanide and the Er complexes, Er-centred upconversion emission at 543 and 656 nm is observed, with power densities as low as 2.18 W cm.

Luminescent materials doped with rare-earth (RE) ions have emerged as powerful tools in thermometry, offering high sensitivity and accuracy. However, challenges remain, particularly in maintaining efficient luminescence at elevated temperatures. This study investigates the thermometric properties of BiVO: Yb/Er (BVO: Er/Yb) nanophosphors synthesized the sol-gel method.

In this work, we present an experimental approach for monitoring the temperature of submicrometric, real-time operating electrical circuits using luminescence thermometry. For this purpose, we utilized lanthanide-doped up-converting nanocrystals as nanoscale temperature probes, which, combined with a highly sensitive confocal photoluminescence microscope, enabled temperature monitoring with spatial resolution limited only by the diffraction of light. To validate our concept, we constructed a simple model of an electrical microcircuit based on a single silver nanowire with a diameter of approximately 100 nm and a length of about 50 µm, whose temperature increase was induced by electric current flow.

With the development of optical anti-counterfeiting and the increasing demand for high-level information encryption, multimodal luminescence (MML) materials attract much attention. However, the discovery of these multifunctional materials is very accidental, and the versatile host suitable for developing such materials remains unclear. Here, a grossite-type fast ionic conductor CaGaO, characterized by layered and tunnel structure with excellent defect tolerance, is found to meet the needs of various luminescent processes.

Fucoxanthin is a typical carotenoid that absorbs light in the blue region of the visible spectrum, and its detailed electronic structures remain to be clarified. It is well known that carotenoids harvest energy from sunlight and transfer it to chlorophylls (Chls) and/or bacteriochlorophylls (BChls) through its excited states as the intermediate states; however, some excited states still need evidence to be definitely confirmed. Through steady-state fluorescence emission spectroscopy and femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence up-conversion technique, we provide new evidence for the identification of the excited S state in fucoxanthin, a representative of carotenoids.

Er and Er/Yb-doped phosphate-based glasses have been synthesized by melt quenching technique and are characterized by absorption spectra, infrared emission, decay curves, Fourier transform infrared spectrum and up-conversion studies. From the absorption spectra, intensity parameters and radiative properties have been derived utilizing the Judd-Ofelt theory. Er-doped glass is found to have larger radiative lifetime for the laser originating from I level at 1537 nm.
