“…One of the most promising groups for semicontact temperature readout is double-perovskite materials of the general formula A 2– x A x ′BB′O 6 , where A and A′ sites are occupied by alkaline metals or lanthanides, while positions B and B′ are reserved for transition-metal ions. Recently, the optical properties of many tungstate and molybdate double perovskites have been investigated, such as Ba 2 MgWO 6 , , Ba 2 ZnWO 6 , Ba 2 CuWO 6 , Sr 2 CoWO 6 , Sr 2 CaWO 6 , Sr 2 CaMoO 6 , Ca 3 Mo x W 1– x O 6 , or Ba 2 MgMoO 6 . Tungstate and molybdate (WO 6 /MoO 6 ) groups can exhibit a broad emission band located in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. − Usually the emission of WO 6 /MoO 6 is quenched very quickly with temperature; however, for samples doped with lanthanide ions, such as Eu 3+ , efficient energy transfer from host to dopant occurs .…”
