A comparative study of spectral and temperature sensing properties of Er3+ mono-doped LnNbO4 (Ln= Lu, Y, Gd) phosphors under 980 and 1500 nm excitations
摘要： LnNbO4: Er3+ (Ln= Lu, Y, Gd) phosphors were prepared through a conventional solid-state reaction method. The phase purity of the samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). A comparative study of spectral and temperature sensing properties of LnNbO4: Er3+ (Ln= Lu, Y, Gd) phosphors was presented. The excitation spectra of the samples show a strong band in the region of 200-350 nm coming from the NbO4 4-, thus indicating efficient energy transfer from the host to Er3+. From the dependence of upconversion (UC) luminescence spectra on laser diode working current, it was confirmed that 2- and 3-photon processes were respectively responsible for both the green and the red UC emissions under 980 and 1550 nm excitations. The temperature sensing properties for LnNbO4: Er3+ were compared under individual excitation of 980 and 1550 nm. It was found that the temperature sensing was independent from the excitation wavelength, but LuNbO4: Er3+ phosphors yielded the highest luminescence intensity and maximum temperature sensitivity.

Thermal Reshaping Dynamics of Gold Nanorods: Influence of Size, Shape, and Local Environment
摘要： The thermal reshaping of gold nanorods in a polymer matrix is an important phenomenon for many potential applications. However, a fundamental understanding of the various mechanisms that govern the nanorod reshaping dynamics is still lacking. Here we provide evidence for a phenomenological model of the gold nanorod shape transformation based on the measurements and detailed analysis of the time-resolved thermal reshaping for a variety of gold nanorods having different geometries (aspect ratio, volume, diameter) in a crosslinked epoxy matrix at application relevant temperatures (120 ? 220 ?C). Our analysis suggests that a) the nanorod reshaping dynamics consist of two temporal regimes that are governed by different phenomena, and b) the ultimate amount of reshaping at a given temperature depends strongly on the initial particle geometry and the mechanical stiffness of its surroundings. At short times the shape transformation is dominated by a curvature-induced surface diffusion process in which the activation energy for diffusion depends on curvature. At long times, however, the surrounding environment plays a key role in slowing the diffusion and stabilizing the nanorod shape. We show that the long time behavior can be well described using a modified surface diffusion model that takes into account the slowing of atomic diffusivity as a result of external forces arising from mechanical constraints. The ability to tune both the final shape and the reshaping dynamics in nanocomposites opens up new possibilities in tailoring the optical properties of these materials.

High-Temperature Large-Scale Self-Assembly of Highly Faceted Monocrystalline Au Metasurfaces
摘要： Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) devices based on resonant metallic metasurfaces have shown disruptive potential for many applications including biosensing and photocatalysis. Despite significant progress, highly performing Au plasmonic nanotextures often suffer of suboptimal electric field enhancement, due to damping effects in multicrystalline domains. Fabricating well-defined Au nanocrystals over large surfaces is very challenging, and usually requires time-intensive multi-step processes. Here, presented are first insights on the large-scale self-assembly of monocrystalline Au nano-islands with tunable size and separation, and their application as efficient LSPR surfaces. Highly homogeneous centimeter-sized Au metasurfaces are fabricated by one-step deposition and in situ coalescence of hot nanoparticle aerosols into a discontinuous monolayer of highly faceted monocrystals. First insights on the mechanisms driving the high-temperature synthesis of these highly faceted Au nanotextures are obtained by molecular dynamic and detailed experimental investigation of their growth kinetics. Notably, these metasurfaces demonstrate high-quality and tunable LSPR, enabling the fabrication of highly performing optical gas molecule sensors detecting down to 3 × 10?6 variations in refractive index at room temperature. It is believed that these findings provide a rapid, low-cost nanofabrication tool for the engineering of highly homogenous Au metasurfaces for large-scale LSPR devices with application ranging from ultrasensitive optical gas sensors to photocatalytic macroreactors.

A stoichiometric terbium-europium dyad molecular thermometer: energy transfer properties
摘要： The optical thermometer has shown great promise for use in the fields of aeronautical engineering, environmental monitoring and medical diagnosis. Self-referencing lanthanide thermo-probes distinguish themselves because of their accuracy, calibration, photostability, and temporal dimension of signal. However, the use of conventional lanthanide-doped materials is limited by their poor reproducibility, random distance between energy transfer pairs and interference by energy migration, thereby restricting their utility. Herein, a strategy for synthesizing hetero-dinuclear complexes that comprise chemically similar lanthanides is introduced in which a pair of thermosensitive dinuclear complexes, cycTb-phEu and cycEu-phTb, were synthesized. Their structures were geometrically optimized with an internuclear distance of approximately 10.6 ?. The sensitive linear temperature-dependent luminescent intensity ratios of europium and terbium emission over a wide temperature range (50–298 K and 10–200 K, respectively) and their temporal dimension responses indicate that both dinuclear complexes can act as excellent self-referencing thermometers. The energy transfer from Tb3+ to Eu3+ is thermally activated, with the most important pathway involving the 7F1 Eu3+ J-multiplet at room temperature. The energy transfer from the antenna to Eu3+ was simulated, and it was found that the most important ligand contributions to the rate come from transfers to the Eu3+ upper states rather than direct ligand–metal transfer to 5D1 or 5D0. As the first molecular-based thermometer with clear validation of the metal ratio and a fixed distance between the metal pairs, these dinuclear complexes can be used as new materials for temperature sensing and can provide a new platform for understanding the energy transfer between lanthanide ions.

Raman thermometry in water, ethanol and ethanol/nitrogen-mixtures from ambient to critical conditions
摘要： We present investigations into remote liquid temperature sensing with Raman spectroscopy using different evaluation methods for the OH stretching vibration band. Water, ethanol and ethanol saturated with nitrogen, all as liquids or liquid-like supercritical fluids, are pumped through a heated microcapillary system at elevated pressures. Raman spectra are recorded from the liquid inside the microcapillary and are evaluated with respect to the temperature sensitivity of the OH stretching vibration. The four approaches applied are (i) to evaluate the center position of the Raman OH-band, (ii) the integrated absolute difference spectrum, (iii) the intensity ratio of two regions of the OH-band, and (iv) the intensity ratio of two fitted Gaussian peaks. The temperature range investigated covers from ambient temperature to the component’s respective boiling temperature or critical temperature at sub- and supercritical pressures. Precision and robustness of the employed methods are characterized. It is shown that two out of the four methods feature temperature deviations smaller than 5 K at all pressures, and that one method can also be applied to liquid mixtures of ethanol and nitrogen. Applicability to other liquids and mixtures is discussed.

Er3+-to-Yb3+ and Pr3+-to-Yb3+ energy transfer for highly efficient near-infrared cryogenic optical temperature sensing
摘要： Here, the very high thermal sensing capability of Er3+,Yb3+ doped LaF3 nanoparticles, where Er3+-to-Yb3+ energy transfer is used, are reported. Also Pr3+,Yb3+ doped LaF3 nanoparticles, with Pr3+-to-Yb3+ energy transfer, showed temperature sensing in the same temperature regime, but with lower performance. The investigated Er3+,Yb3+ doped LaF3 nanoparticles show a remarkably high relative sensitivity Sr up to 6.6092 %K-1 (at 15K) in the near-infrared (NIR), in the cryogenic (15 – 105K) temperature region opening a whole new thermometric system suitable for advanced applications in the very low temperature ranges. Up to date reports on NIR cryogenic sensors are very scarce.

A Fiber Bragg-Grating-Based Miniature Sensor for the Fast Detection of Soil Moisture Profiles in Highway Slopes and Subgrades
摘要： A fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based aluminum oxide tube packed sensor (ATPS) was developed for the fast detection of the soil moisture profile in highway slopes and subgrades. The novel ATPS consists of an aluminum oxide tube with a diameter of 5 mm, an optical fiber containing a quasi-distributed FBG sensors, a “U”-shaped resistance wire, and a flange. There are four 0.9-mm diameter holes in the ATPS. Laboratory experiments were carried out to calibrate the relationship between the thermal response of ATPS and the soil moisture content. Two laboratory rainfall validation model tests were performed to validate the ATPS for capturing the soil moisture profile in highway slopes and subgrades. During the validations, the accuracy of the ATPS was quantified, and water infiltration through grassy and grassless ground surfaces were investigated. The calibrations indicate that the ATPS can detect and record real-time changes in the highway slope and subgrade moisture after rainfall, and reveal the most dangerous zones that occur at the connection between different construction materials. The average measurement accuracy of soil moisture monitoring was 0.015 m3/m3. Please note that the connection is where cracks form easily and the soil hydraulic conductivity increases significantly. The test results also indicate that grassy cover (lawn) significantly prevents water infiltration during the first few minutes of rainfall (twelve minutes in this study), after which, however, the infiltration rate drops sharply. The influence of lawn on water infiltration depends on the soil structure, hydraulic conductivity, and rainfall time. In summary, due to its small size and fast detection, the ATPS is a portable probe that can be used for moisture monitoring in highway slopes and subgrades.
