Antithermal Quenching and Multiparametric Temperature Sensing from Mn²⁺/Tb³⁺‐Codoped Ca₂LaTaO₆ Phosphor

Abstract

Luminescence thermometry plays significant roles in various fields including industrial production, environmental detection, aerospace, and medicine. However, its accuracy improvement remains highly challenging due to the thermal quenching effect of phosphors. Herein, for the first time, a thermal‐activated electron compensation Mn2+‐ and Tb3+‐codoped Ca2LaTaO6 phosphor is developed for multiparametric temperature sensing with tunable emission of Mn2+ and antithermal quenching emission of Tb3+, leading to excellent accuracy at high temperatures. By virtue of the deep electron trap states induced by Mn2+ dopant, the electrons in the deep trap can be thermally activated at high temperatures, which can replenish the attenuated Tb3+ emission caused by thermal quenching, thus bringing out the antithermal quenching phenomenon. On account of the prominent emission properties, the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) readout and lifetime‐based thermometry are designed, providing a maximum relative sensitivity SR of 3.603% and 1.941% K−1, respectively. Multiparametric temperature sensing and novel data analysis are also employed to further improve the accuracy of the luminescence thermometer. The outstanding relative thermal sensitivity ranging from 8.72% to 16.11% K−1 and temperature uncertainty order of 10−3 are achieved. These results demonstrate that the designed Ca2LaTaO6:Mn2+/Tb3+ phosphor material is a promising thermal‐sensing candidate.

“…Recently, RE ion-activated thermometers based on the FIR technique with advantages of real-time monitoring and remote control have been considered as promising candidates for a non-contact temperature probe, and the FIR can be derived and expressed as follows: 39 where T is the temperature, and A , B , and C are constants. As illustrated in Fig.…”

Luminescence Thermometry Beyond the Biological Realm

“…A noise floor of 13 mK/Hz 1/2 was achieved, resulting in a readout speed orders of magnitude faster than other all-optical methods with similar spatial resolution and temperature uncertainty. Chen et al 263 used multiple linear regression to improve the temperature sensitivity and reduce the temperature uncertainty of Mn 2+ / Tb 3+ codoped Ca 2 LaTaO 6 luminescent thermometers. Maturi et al 264 applied multiparametric analysis and multiple linear regression to thermometry based on green fluorescent protein and Ag 2 S nanoparticles, demonstrating temperature uncertainties as low as 0.05 K. Ximendes et al 265 applied a dimensionality reduction approach to calibration data sets obtained from nanoparticles containing Yb 3+ , Nd 3+ , and Er 3+ and Ag 2 S nanoparticles.…”
