Abstract

Optical thermometry is one of the promising methods of detecting temperature under harsh environments. In this study, for the development of a novel optical thermometer, we focused on Eu-doped (Y, Lu, Sc)₂O₃ and grew single crystals using the micro-pulling-down method. Crystal growth was performed by systematically changing the ratio of Y to Lu, and the crystalline system and space group were identified to be cubic and Ia–3, respectively, by the powder X-ray diffraction analysis. From the photoluminescence emission spectra, the emission peaks attributed to Eu³⁺ ⁵D₀–⁷F₁ and ⁵D₁–⁷F₁ transitions were observed. The temperature dependence of these emission peaks was measured and evaluated using the fluorescence intensity ratio method to estimate the performance as the optical thermometer. It was found that Eu-doped (Y, Lu, Sc)₂O₃ can be used as the optical thermometer in the temperature range from 430 K to 790 K. The relative sensitivity reached a maximum of 0.22 %K⁻¹ at 760 K.

期刊介绍： The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid. We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
