Abstract

Luminescent materials for application in temperature sensing have caught a lot of interest in recent years. Particularly erbium (Er³⁺)-doped fluoride-based materials (EFM), which are readily accessible by near-infrared (NIR) excitation to produce efficient photon conversion. It has been established that ytterbium (Yb³⁺) may improve the performance of EFMs in both bulk and nanostructured forms by energy transfer channels among rare-earth ions in interstitial clusters. In this work, a comprehensive analysis of the Er³⁺:Yb³⁺:CaF₂ crystalline structure, photoluminescence, and energy transfer from Yb³⁺ to Er³⁺ is presented for powders prepared by combustion synthesis. The Er³⁺:Yb³⁺:CaF₂ powders display exceptional photon down-shift and up-conversion when exposed to NIR light (λ = 975 nm). The luminescence spectral change of the NIR emission around 1.5 μm, which corresponds to the Er³⁺ electronic transition ⁴I_13/2 → ⁴I_15/2, was investigated in a temperature range of 298–423 K for application in temperature sensing of biological systems exploring the third biological window. The luminescence intensity ratio technique was applied to the thermally coupled Stark sublevels of states ⁴I_13/2 and ⁴I_15/2 with the highest estimated temperature relative sensitivity being around 0.4 %/K at 298 K.

使用近红外线检测 Er3+:Yb3+ 共掺杂 CaF2 陶瓷粉末的温度传感性能

近年来，用于温度传感的发光材料备受关注。特别是掺杂铒（Er3+）的氟化物基材料（EFM），很容易在近红外（NIR）激发下产生高效的光子转换。镱（Yb3+）可通过间隙团簇中稀土离子间的能量转移通道改善块状和纳米结构形式的 EFM 性能，这一点已得到证实。本研究全面分析了燃烧合成法制备的 Er3+:Yb3+:CaF2 粉末的晶体结构、光致发光以及从 Yb3+ 到 Er3+ 的能量传递。Er3+:Yb3+:CaF2 粉末在近红外光（λ = 975 纳米）照射下显示出优异的光子下移和上转换性能。在 298-423 K 的温度范围内，研究了 1.5 μm 附近近红外发射的发光光谱变化，该光谱与 Er3+ 电子转变 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 相对应，可应用于探索第三生物窗口的生物系统温度传感。发光强度比技术适用于热耦合斯塔克亚级态 4I13/2 和 4I15/2，在 298 K 时，估计的最高温度相对灵敏度约为 0.4 %/K。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Rare Earths reports studies on the 17 rare earth elements. It is a unique English-language learned journal that publishes works on various aspects of basic theory and applied science in the field of rare earths (RE). The journal accepts original high-quality original research papers and review articles with inventive content, and complete experimental data. It represents high academic standards and new progress in the RE field. Due to the advantage of abundant RE resources of China, the research on RE develops very actively, and papers on the latest progress in this field emerge every year. It is not only an important resource in which technicians publish and obtain their latest research results on RE, but also an important way of reflecting the updated progress in RE research field. The Journal of Rare Earths covers all research and application of RE rare earths including spectroscopy, luminescence and phosphors, rare earth catalysis, magnetism and magnetic materials, advanced rare earth materials, RE chemistry & hydrometallurgy, RE metallography & pyrometallurgy, RE new materials, RE solid state physics & solid state chemistry, rare earth applications, RE analysis & test, RE geology & ore dressing, etc.
