Materials science has experienced significant advances in the development of new techniques to synthesize materials with unique properties, which are essential for various applications. For instance, lanthanides-doped structures have been...

Exploring luminescence quenching mechanisms and temperature sensing capabilities of LiSrYW3O12:Sm3+ phosphors

“…Thus, applications in industry are extremely interested in thermometers since they can measure an object's temperature correctly. 1–3 When measuring temperature, contact thermometers – including thermocouple thermometers are susceptible to a number of limitations. Rare earth ions, particularly the trivalent Sm 3+ , play a significant role as activator ions in the development of novel luminescent materials.…”
