研究成果
The paper introduces a universal calibration protocol for NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+ UCNPs that is robust to environmental changes and provides precise temperature measurements. This protocol was successfully applied to measure the temperature profile inside a Taylor cone, revealing an unexpected temperature increase at the cone's tip due to the formation of a whispering gallery mode cavity. The findings support the use of UCNPs for time-resolved temperature measurements in complex systems.
研究不足
The study is limited by the diffraction limit of optical temperature measurements and the need for precise calibration to account for changes in peak shape due to environmental factors.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used luminescence ratio thermometry with NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+ UCNPs for temperature measurements. A universal calibration protocol was introduced to address changes in peak shape affecting temperature measurements.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Synthesized NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+ UCNPs were used. The temperature profile inside a Taylor cone generated with an electrospray jet was measured.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A 980 nm laser, WITec α-SNOM300s microscope, optical-fiber-coupled monochromator, and electrospray setup with a glass pipette were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The UCNPs were excited with 980 nm laser light, and the emission was collected for temperature measurement. The temperature profile inside the Taylor cone was determined by analyzing the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) of the UCNPs.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The temperature was calculated using the LIR method, with adjustments for peak shape changes due to varying excitation times and intensities.
