Mn-doped YMgTiO phosphors are synthesized by the traditional solid-state method. Powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer are employed to characterize the samples. The Mn-doped YMgTiO phosphors show the far-red emission at ∼715 nm, which is assigned to the E → A spin-forbidden transition of Mn. The temperature-dependent luminescent dynamics of Mn is described by a complete model associated with electron-lattice interaction and spin-orbit coupling. The noncontact optical thermometry of YMgTiO:Mn is discussed based on the fluorescence intensity ratio of thermally coupled anti-Stokes and Stokes sidebands of the efficient ∼715 nm far-red emission in the temperature range of 10-513 K. The maximum sensor sensitivity of YMgTiO:Mn is determined to be as high as 0.001 42 K at 153 K, which demonstrates potential applications for the optical thermometry at low-temperature environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
