Bi-functional heater-thermometer Nd3+-doped nanoparticles with multiple temperature sensing parameters
摘要： Achieving a combination of real-time diagnosis and therapy in a single platform with sensitive thermometry and efficient heat production is a crucial step towards controllable photo-thermal therapy. Here, Nd3+-doped Y2O3 nanoparticles prepared by combined Pechini-foaming technique operating in first and second biological windows were demonstrated as thermal sensors within wide temperature range of 123–873 K and heaters with temperature increase by 100 K. Thermal sensing was performed based on various approaches: luminescence intensity ratio (electronic levels; Stark sublevels), spectral line position and line bandwidth were used as temperature dependent parameters. Applicability of regarded sensing parameters along with relative thermal sensitivity and temperature resolution were discussed and compared. Influence of Nd3+ doping concentration on thermometer and heater efficiency was also investigated.

Colloidal Rare Earth Vanadate Single Crystalline Particles as Ratiometric Luminescent Thermometers
摘要： Thulium/ytterbium-doped yttrium vanadate particles provide ratiometric thermal response as both colloids and powders via downshift or upconversion emissions. Here, we synthesized yttrium vanadates by controlled colloidal conversion of hydroxycarbonate precursors. A protected annealing process yielded single crystalline and readily dispersible particles that were manipulated individually by optical tweezers in water. Because individual particles displayed detectable emissions, this system has potential applications as a single-particle luminescent temperature sensor. Excitation on Yb3+ sensitizers (λexc=980 nm) or at vanadate groups (λexc=300 nm) resulted in Tm3+ emissions that effectively correlated with the temperature of the sample from 288 to 473 K with high relative thermal sensitivity (0.8-2.2% K-1), one of the highest reported for vanadate nanocrystals so far. Different pairs of Tm3+ transitions afford a ratiometric thermal response, which fitted common sensing requirements such as large [3F2,3→3H6 (λ=700 nm)/1G4→3H6 (λ=475 nm)] or small [3F2,3→3H6 (λ=700 nm)/1G4→3F4 (λ=650 nm)] spectral gaps, and emission wavelengths at the first near infrared biological window [3F2,3→3F4 (λ=700 nm)/3H4→3H6 (λ=800 nm)]. Our findings open new perspectives for the use of luminescent nanothermometers with controllable spatial localization, which is a remarkably interesting prospect to investigate microscopically-localized events related to changes in temperature.

Lanthanide-Based Thermometers: At the Cutting-Edge of Luminescence Thermometry
摘要： Present technological demands in disparate areas, such as microfluidics and nanofluidics, microelectronics and nanoelectronics, photonics and biomedicine, among others, have reached to a development such that conventional contact thermal probes are not accomplished anymore to perform accurate measurements with submicrometric spatial resolution. The development of novel noncontact thermal probes is, then, mandatory, contributing to an expansionary epoch of luminescence thermometry. Luminescence thermometry based on trivalent lanthanide ions has become very popular since 2010 due to the unique versatility, stability, and narrow emission band profiles of the ions that cover the entire electromagnetic spectrum with relatively high emission quantum yields. Here, a perspective overview on the field is given from the beginnings in the 1950s until the most recent cutting-edge examples. The current movement toward usage of the technique as a new tool for thermal imaging, early tumor detection, and as a tool for unveiling the properties of the thermometers themselves or of their local neighborhoods is also summarized.
