Improved photoluminescence and multi-mode optical thermometry of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped (Ba,Sr)3Lu4O9 phosphors

Contactless optical thermometers have attracted extensive attentions for applications in scientific research and technological fields due to their apparent advantages. Herein, a novel sequence of Ba_3-xSr_xLu₄O₉ (B_3-xS_xLO):Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ phosphors were successfully prepared to investigate the temperature sensing property. By establishing energy transfer from Yb³⁺ to Er³⁺ and regulating the local lattice environment, up-conversion luminescence of Er³⁺ is dramatically improved when excited by 980 nm laser. This can effectively promote signal-noise ratio and reduce the errors in temperature detection. Furthermore, a multi-mode optical thermometry, which includes the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) from two thermally coupled levels of ²H_11/2/⁴S_3/2, FIR based on non-thermally coupled system of ²H_11/2/⁴F_9/2 and fluorescence lifetime of ⁴S_3/2 state of Er³⁺, was explored systematically. The fabricated samples exhibit the superior temperature measurement performances containing wide temperature-sensing range, superior signal discriminability, high sensitivity and favorable repeatability, indicative of the enormous utilization prospects of B_3-xS_xLO:Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ for thermometry.

Intratumoral Thermal Reading During Photo‐Thermal Therapy by Multifunctional Fluorescent Nanoparticles

The tremendous development of nanotechnology is bringing us closer to the dream of clinical application of nanoparticles in photothermal therapies of tumors. This requires the use of specific nanoparticles that must be highly biocompatible, efficient light‐to‐heat converters and fluorescent markers. Temperature reading by the heating nanoparticles during therapy appears of paramount importance to keep at a minimum the collateral damage that could arise from undesirable excessive heating. In this work, this thermally controlled therapy is possible by using Nd³⁺ ion‐doped LaF₃ nanocrystals. Because of the particular optical features of Nd³⁺ ions at high doping concentrations, these nanoparticles are capable of in vivo photothermal heating, fluorescent tumor localization and intratumoral thermal sensing. The successful photothermal therapy experiments here presented highlight the importance of controlling therapy parameters based on intratumoral temperature measurements instead of on the traditionally used skin temperature measurements. In fact, significant differences between intratumoral and skin temperatures do exist and could lead to the appearance of excessive collateral damage. These results open a new avenue for the real application of nano­particle‐based photothermal therapy at clinical level.

MgAl2O4:Cr3+ luminescence thermometry probe in the physiological temperatures range

Temperature sensing from the photoluminescence of MgAl₂O₄:Cr³⁺ ceramic powder is systematically investigated. Material was prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis method. In this host, Cr³⁺ experiences the strong crystal field, so the overlapping emissions from ²E and ⁴T₂ energy levels are observed. Emission and excitation spectra were recorded from 300 K to 540 K. The broad photoluminescence attributed to ⁴T₂→⁴A₂ emission gains in intensity with increase in temperature on account of ²E→⁴A₂ emission intensity until 460 K when both emissions start quenching. The emissions were separated by deconvolution at each temperature and used for the luminescence intensity ratio temperature readout method. The obtained relative sensitivity exhibited high values in the physiological range, from 3.5 %K⁻¹ at 300 K to 2.9 %K⁻¹ at 330 K, above 2 %K⁻¹ below 400 K and above 1 %K⁻¹ between 400 K and 540 K.
