Up-Converting Lanthanide Fluoride Core@Shell Nanorods for Luminescent Thermometry in the First and Second Biological Windows - β-NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+@SiO2 Temperature Sensor
摘要： Up-converting core@shell type β-NaYF4:Yb3+-Er3+@SiO2 nanorods have been obtained by a two-step synthesis process, which encompasses hydrothermal and microemulsion routes. The synthesized nanomaterial forms stable aqueous colloids and exhibits a bright dual-center emission (λex= 975 nm), i.e. up-conversion luminescence of Er3+ and down-shifting emission of Yb3+, located in the first (I-BW) and the second (II-BW) biological windows of the spectral range. The intensity ratios of the emission bands of Er3+ and Yb3+ observed in the Vis-NIR range monotonously change with temperature, i.e. the thermalized Er3+ levels (2H11/2→4I15/2/4S3/2→4I15/2) and the non-thermally coupled Yb3+/Er3+ levels (2F5/2→2F7/2/4I9/2→4I15/2 or 4F9/2→4I15/2). Hence, their thermal evolutions have been correlated with temperature using the Boltzmann type distribution and 2-th order polynomial fits for temperature sensing purposes, i.e. Er3+ 525/545 nm (max Sr = 1.31 %K-1) and Yb3+/Er3+ 1010/810 nm (1.64 %K-1) or 1010/660 nm (0.96 %K-1). Additionally, a fresh chicken breast was used as a tissue imitation in the performed ex vivo experiment, showing the advantage of the use of NIR Yb3+/Er3+ bands, vs. the typically used Er3+ 525/545 nm band ratio, i.e. better penetration of the luminescence signal through the tissue in the I-BW and II-BW. Such nanomaterials can be utilized as accurate and effective, broad-range Vis-NIR optical, contactless sensors of temperature.

Yb/Er/Tm tri-doped Na3ZrF7 upconversion nanocrystals for high performance temperature sensing
摘要： Non-contact optical thermometry based on fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique has been widely researched over the past few decades. However, the reported systems exhibit two important shortcomings including the existence of a few interferential signals in addition to the required spectral bands for FIR and the absence of internal standard for reference signal. Herein, only two emission bands of Er3+: 4F9/2→4I15/2 (~673 nm) and Tm3+: 3H4 → 3H6 (~800 nm) are achieved in Yb/Er/Tm tri-doped Na3ZrF7 nano-system. Moreover, the upconversion (UC) emission intensity of Er3+ keeps unchanged with the rising of temperature, which is applied as reference signal; while that of Tm3+ enhances evidently, which is applied as temperature signal. The calculated maximum absolute temperature sensitivity (Sa) and relative temperature sensitivity (Sr) are 0.17 K-1 at 393 K and 1.76 %K-1 at 313 K, respectively.

Reversible luminescence modulation and temperature sensing properties of Pr <sup>3+</sup> /Yb <sup>3+</sup> codoped K <sub/>0.5</sub> Na <sub/>0.5</sub> NbO <sub/>3</sub> ceramics
摘要： In this work, we have prepared a novel (K0.5Na0.5)0.99-xPrxYb0.01NbO3 (abbreviated as KNN:xPr3+/0.01Yb3+, x=0.0006, 0.0008, 0.001, 0.002, 0.003 and 0.004) ceramic, which possess visible UC emissions, photochromic (PC) and optical thermometric properties. Under the excitation of a 980-nm diode laser, all the samples show the featured emissions of Pr3+ ions and the UC emission intensity is greatly dependent on the Pr3+ doping content. The optimal UC luminescence intensity is obtained at x=0.001. All the prepared samples show a strong PC reaction, and a large luminescence quenching degree (ΔRt) of 74.94% is found. The optical thermometric properties of both the irradiated and unirradiated KNN:0.001Pr3+/0.01Yb3+ ceramics in the temperature range of 123-573 K have been investigated via measuring the temperature-dependent UC emission spectra of green emissions, which originate from the two 3P1 and 3P0 thermally coupled levels. It has been found that the prepared samples have both excellent PC behaviors and temperature sensing performances. These results suggest that the KNN:xPr3+/0.01Yb3+ ceramics are promising candidates for the applications in PC reaction and thermometers.

Soluble and insoluble polymer-inorganic systems based on poly(methyl methacrylate), modified with ZrO2-LnO1.5 (Ln = Eu, Tb) nanoparticles: Comparison of their photoluminescence
摘要： The study of the lanthanide ion luminescence as a function of their environment in polymer-inorganic composites is necessary for better understanding of the electron energy transfer processes in a condensed state. From a practical point of view, these materials are promising for optics and medicine. The nanoparticles of ZrO2-LnO1.5 (Ln = Eu, Tb) solid solutions were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The surface functionalization of the obtained nanoparticles by vinyl groups was carried out using 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate. Soluble and cross-linked composites based on poly(methyl methacrylate) with ZrO2-LnO1.5 nanoparticles were synthesized using radical polymerization in solution and bulk. Molecular weight, thermal stability, and microhardness of the obtained composite materials were determined. The influence of both the polymerization conditions and the forming composite structure on the lanthanide ion photoluminescence in ZrO2 nanoparticles covalently bonded to the polymer matrix was studied. The combination of ZrO2-EuO1.5 and ZrO2-TbO1.5 nanoparticles in the poly(methyl methacrylate) resulted in the production of composites with photoluminescence spectra overlapping the red and green regions of the visible range. It was shown that the structure of the composite affects the absorbing capacity of luminescent centers and allows shifting the excitation spectrum in the longer wavelength region.

[IEEE 2019 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC) - Munich, Germany (2019.6.23-2019.6.27)] 2019 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC) - Fabrication and Characterization of New Phosphate Glasses and Glass-Ceramics Suitable for Drawing Optical and Biophotonic Libers
摘要： Rare earth doped phosphate glasses are attractive materials for the engineering of photonic devices, due to their easy processing, good thermal stability, excellent optical properties and high rare-earth ions solubility [1]. Besides, phosphate glasses with a P2O5 content of 50 mol% have been shown to be suitable for fiber drawing. It is well known that if the rare-earth ions are located in crystalline phase of desired nature and structure, the spectroscopic properties of the glasses can be enhanced [2]. Therefore, efforts have been focused on the development of new glass-ceramics (GCS) obtained from the heat treatment of glasses, as these engineered materials possess some of the glass properties (large flexibility of composition and geometry) but also some advantages of the RE-doped single crystals (high absorption and emission as well as long lifetimes). In this presentation, we will first discuss how new active phosphate glasses can be prepared with a bioactivity functionality and their composition tailored to enhance their spectroscopic properties. We will show that the heat treatment does not necessarily lead to the bulk precipitation of rare-earth doped crystals (see figure 1). Therefore, we will present a new route to prepare rare-earth doped crystals containing glasses using the direct doping method (schematic presented in Figure 2). We will review the main challenge with this novel route of preparing glasses, related to the survival and dispersion of the particles in the glasses. Finally, we will demonstrate that some of the promising glasses can be drawn into optical fibers with broad luminescence over 70 nm of bandwidth and also into biophotonic fiber in the prospect of developing an innovative biosensor.

High-sensitive optical temperature sensing based on 5D1 emission of Eu3+ in YVO4
摘要： By studying the temperature-induced red-shift of the V-O charge transfer band (CTB) edge in YVO4:10% Eu3+, we demonstrate a high-sensitive strategy for optical temperature sensing using the combination of the temperature-induced enhancement of the excitation in the tail of the CTB and the thermal population of 5D1 state of Eu3+. Under a constant 358 nm excitation, the integrated emission intensity corresponding to 5D1 → 7F1 transition of Eu3+ exhibits drastic temperature dependence ranging from 300 to 480 K. A high relative sensitivity SR was obtained to be 3923/T2. Temperature cycling tests were performed to evaluate the reusability and feasibility as temperature sensors. Our results indicate the potential use of the proposed strategy for high performance optical thermometry.

Luminescence Properties of Dy3+ and Sm3+: Potassium Lithium Borate Glass
摘要： The present paper describes the spectral properties of Sm3+ (0.4 mol%) and Dy3+ (0.4 mol%) ions-doped 20Li2O–10K2O–70B2O3 glasses. X-ray diffraction method was use to confirm the amorphous phase of samples. The physical properties have been determined based on UV absorption spectra. The hypersensitive transition of Dy3+ and Sm3+ is found due to transition of (6F11/2,6H9/2) and (6F7/2), respectively. The emission bands of Dy3+: glass has shown around 572 nm, 612 nm and 646 nm; these emissions are attributed to the transitions of 4F9/2 →6H15/2 (yellow), 4F9/2 - 6H13/2 (red) and 4F9/2 -6H11/2 (red). With regard to Sm3+: glass has three emission bands those have been generated from 4G5/2 → 6H5/2 (616 nm), 4G5/2 → 6H 7/2 (660 nm) and 4G5/2 → 6H9/2 (719 nm) transitions. The current results promise several applications in optical fields such as UV-sensor, developing new color light sources and tunable visible lasers.

Rare earth ions doped NiO hole transport layer for efficient and stable inverted perovskite solar cells
摘要： Hole transport layer plays a critical role in achieving high performance and stable inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Doping has been proved to be an effective strategy to modify the electrical and optical properties of semiconductor oxides. Herein, rare earths (REs: Ce, Nd, Eu, Tb, and Yb) elements are systemically doped into the NiOx hole transport layer (HTL) via a simple solution-based method. The results demonstrate that the REs doping could considerably modify the compactness, conductivity, and band alignment of the NiOx HTL, leading to the highly improved permanence of the inverted PSCs. The PSCs using 3% Eu:NiOx HTL yielded the optimum power conversion efficiency of 15.06%, relatively improved 23.4% compared with the PSC using pristine NiOx HTL (12.20%). It also demonstrated much better long time stability. The improved photovoltaic properties of the device can be attributed to the more efficient charge extraction and suppressed interfacial recombination rate by the introduction of appropriate REs in the NiOx HTL. This work indicates that RE doping is a very effective and promising strategy to achieve adjustable hole extraction material for high and stable inverted PSCs.
