A series of AWO 4 (A = Sr, Ca): Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ /Gd 3+ /Er 3+ phosphors are successfully prepared by solid-state method. In comparison with the samples without Gd 3+ ions, the UC emission intensity of CaWO 4 : 0.5 mol%Tm 3+ /1 mol%Yb 3+ /10 mol%Gd 3+ sample has increased by 104 times (∼475 nm), 71 times (∼655 nm) and 23 times (∼795 nm) due to the shrink of the host lattice with the Gd 3+ ions corporation. Based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of non-thermal couple levels(non-TCLs), the temperature sensing characteristics are investigated for AWO 4 (A = Sr, Ca): Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ /Gd 3+ /Er 3+ phosphors. The maximum values of absolute sensitivity and relative sensitivity are 0.09356 K -1 and 1.499% K −1 for CaWO 4 : Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ /Gd 3+ /Er 3+ phosphor. It indicates that the AWO 4 (A = Sr, Ca): Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ /Gd 3+ /Er 3+ phosphors can be applied to develop optical thermometry.

Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped nanoparticles that produce strong red upconversion (UC) luminescence are desirable for biological applications. For nanoparticles, modification of their electronic properties and stabilization of their crystallographic phase are crucial for tuning their luminescence behaviors. Here, Yb3+–Er3+ doped Gd2O3 nanoparticles have been synthesized by calcining Gd2O2S in nitrogen (O2-free) and ambient air (∼21% O2), respectively. Various approaches including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG-DTA) were used to characterize the structure, morphology and phase formation mechanism of the nanoparticles. Upconversion luminescence properties were investigated by emission intensity vs. excitation power (double logarithmic relationship) and temperature dependent emission spectroscopy. The different splitting transition probabilities of the cubic and/or monoclinic phase, the probability of multiphonon relaxations and cross relaxations between Er3+ ions are responsible for the efficient red emission in the cubic Gd2O3 nanoparticles. More importantly, the lower phonon energy of the pure cubic sample has good thermal stability in the current detectable range of 20–100 °C. These results imply that the cubic Gd2O3 upconversion nanoparticles may have multiplexing functionality in bio-imaging.

Fluoro-sulfo-phosphate (FPS) glass is of current interest as potential material for laser application due to its good glass-forming ability, thermal, and chemical stability as well as the complicated local environment for incorporated species. Herein, the physical and luminescent properties of Er 3+ and Yb 3+ /Er 3+ -doped FPS glasses vs S/F ratio are investigated comprehensively. The low melting temperature (750°C) leads to fewer ingredients evaporation and easier operation. The sulfate addition depolymerizes the structure of FPS glasses, leading to either monotonic or nonmonotonic variations of physical properties, while no deterioration in thermal and limited one in chemical stability is caused. The addition of sulfate also modifies the local structure around optical active species and thus, leading to higher emission cross section (1.52 × 10 −20 cm 2 ), effective linewidth (68.4 nm), figure of merit (5.61 × 10 −23 s cm 2 ), gain bandwidth (102.44 × 10 −27 cm 3 ), and energy-transfer microparameters (51.87 × 10 −39 cm 6 /s), implying high possibility to serve as 1.5 μm laser application.

Non-contact thermometry operating at the sub-micrometer level based on self-referencing upconversion (UC) micro-nanomaterial is an attractive pursuit for optical thermometers. Here, a novel accordion-like Y 2 O 3 :Er 3+ nanothermometer with green/red UC luminescence is obtained from the solvent-free grinding and the following temperature-programmed calcination of the Er 3+ -doped Y-containing metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor. Upon 980 nm laser irradiation, the as-prepared Y 2 O 3 :Er 3+ exhibits dual-emitting green and red emissions originating from Er 3+ ions with a two-photon UC process, and the intensities are strongly dependent on temperature. The optical thermometry behaviours of Y 2 O 3 :Er 3+ nanothermometer using the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique are studied in the temperature range of 298–393 K within the physiological temperature, in which the thermally coupled levels of two green emissions and another pair of coupled levels with red and green emissions are comparatively investigated. A relative large calculated energy gap Δ E (951 cm −1 ) for the thermally couple levels of 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 and a maximum absolute sensitivity ( S a ) of 0.0027 K −1 at 393 K are determined, respectively. This novel accordion-like Y 2 O 3 :Er 3+ nanothermometer exhibits excellent optical sensing stability and high temperature resolution, demonstrating its great potential as reliable and promising optical thermometers.

Lead halide perovskites have been very promising for versatile optoelectronic applications, whereas the inherent toxicity and instability of lead halide restrict its wide application. Herein, a kind of high-performance multifunctional phosphor is designed based on heavy concentration Er 3+ -activated lead-free double perovskite Cs 2 NaBiCl 6 (CNBC), which realizes the self-sensitization of Er 3+ ions and emits high-brightness pure green emission upon dual near-infrared (dual-NIR) excitation. The luminescence properties can be further optimized by adding sensitizers (Yb 3+ /Nd 3+ ). Interestingly, the emission intensity of the green region is heightened by 212-fold after Yb 3+ ions doping, which is 40 times higher than that of the current popular phosphors (α-NaYF 4 :2%Er 3+ ,18%Yb 3+ ). Meanwhile, the temperature sensing properties of the thermally coupled levels (Er 3+ : 2 H 11/2 , 4 S 3/2 ) in Cs 2 NaBiCl 6 :40%Er 3+ are also investigated systematically based on the luminescence intensity ratio principle, and the maximum relative sensitivity is calculated to be as high as 1.27% K -1 (980 nm) and 1.57% K -1 (808 nm). Fortunately, the thermal stability and the performance for temperature readout of the studied phosphors are still maintaining a high level after doping sensitizers. The insights provided by this work will broaden the scope of lead-free halide double perovskites in the fields of luminescence and thermometry.

The availability of colloidal nano-materials with high efficiency, stability, and non-toxicity in the near infrared-II range is beneficial for biological diagnosis and therapy. Rare earth doped nanoparticles are ideal luminescent agents for bio-applications in the near infrared-II range due to the abundant energy level distribution. Among them, both excitation and emission range of Er3+ ions can be tuned into second biological window range. Herein, we report the synthesis of ∼15 nm LiYF4, NaYF4, and NaGdF4 nanoparticles doped with Er3+ ions and their core-shell structures. The luminescent properties are compared, showing that Er3+ ions with single-doped LiYF4 and NaYF4 nanoparticles generate stronger luminescence than Er3+ ions with doped NaGdF4, despite the difference in relative intensity at different regions. By epitaxial growth an inert homogeneous protective layer, the surface luminescence of the core-shell structure is further enhanced by about 5.1 times, 6.5 times, and 167.7 times for LiYF4, NaYF4, and NaGdF4, respectively. The excellent luminescence in both visible and NIR range of these core-shell nanoparticles makes them potential candidate for bio-applications.

Highly-dispersed BaLuF 5 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanocrystals were prepared by a facile potassium sodium tartrate-assisted hydrothermal method. The average particle size was approximately 20–25 nm. The formation mechanism is discussed. Potassium sodium tartrate led to form a complex with an approximately three-dimensional network structure, which insured largely concurrent nucleation. As a result, we acquired uniform nanoparticles. The hydrothermal temperature, holding time, and pH value were important factors affecting the formation of the BaLuF 5 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanocrystals. We investigated their influence on the formation and realized the optimal reaction parameters. Remarkably, potassium sodium tartrate also contributed to the biocompatibility and potential biomedical applications of BaLuF 5 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ nanocrystals by decomposing into small organic groups attached to the nanoparticles.

A series of Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 F 2 :Er 3+ phosphors doped with varying concentrations of Er 3+ concentrations (2–14 mol.%) have been synthesized via a hydrothermal method to investigate their optical spectroscopy and temperature-sensing properties. Rietveld refinements of the XRD data reveal that Er 3+ ions preferentially occupy Ca2 sites rather than Ca1 sites to reduce electrostatic repulsion between cations within the fluorapatite lattice. Morphological characterization using SEM, TEM, and EDS confirms that the synthesized phosphors exhibit a rod-like morphology with dimensions of approximately 2.5 μm in length and 1 μm in diameter, along with an excellent single-crystal structure and uniform elemental distribution. Under 378 nm excitation, the phosphors exhibit prominent green emission peaks corresponding to the 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 transitions of Er 3+ ions. The optimal dopant concentration is determined to be 10 mol.%, with a calculated critical distance of 9.98 Å, indicating that electric quadrupole–quadrupole interactions dominate the concentration quenching mechanism. The luminescence lifetime of the optimized phosphor has been measured as 0.604 ms. Additionally, the chromaticity coordinates (0.3127, 0.6723) and high color purity (98.06 %) highlight the potential applicability of this phosphor in white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and other optoelectronic devices.

Er 3+ -doped Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1 O 3 ( x Er-BCTZ, x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015) multifunctional thick films were prepared by the tape-casting method, using sol-gel-derived nano-sized powders as the matrix material. The surface morphologies, photoluminescence, and electrical properties were investigated. Dense microstructures with pure perovskite structure were obtained in the thick films. By doping an appropriate amount of Er 3− , the samples exhibit superior up-conversion photoluminescence performance and simultaneously enhanced electrical performances. In addition, relatively higher texture fractions (with the largest value of 83.5%) were realized through introducing plate-like BaTiO 3 templates to make the thick film grow by the [001] c orientation. And the ferro-/piezoelectric properties of the thick films were further improved, showing potential in the applications of micro-optoelectronic devices.

So far, existing research on upconversion nanomaterials has concentrated on tuning luminescence properties through the design of core-shell structure and the strategic incorporation of dopant ions, enabling modulation in emission color, intensity, and excitation response. Among them, most of the studies have focused on multilayer (four or more layers) core-shell structures. However, such systems often face challenges related to complex preparation processes and inefficiencies. In this work, we aimed to simplify the system by employing NaErF 4 :Nd,Yb,Ce@NaYF 4 :Yb@NaYF 4 core-shell-shell nanoparticles and optimizing the doping combination of rare-earth ions for luminescence intensity control. Compared to traditional four-layer designs, this study provides the following significant advantages: (1) ultraviolet-blue upconversion emissions can be achieved without the incorporation of commonly used Tm 3+ ions, overcoming the concentration quenching problem associated with Tm 3+ , and (2) the luminescence tuning in response to dual-wavelength (980 and 1532 nm) is achieved by a three-layer core-shell structure, significantly reducing system design complexity, fabrication challenges, and improving production efficiency. By validating its fluorescence emission performance, these nanoparticles exhibit unique potential application in photodynamic therapy and real-time fluorescence monitoring.

A series of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Cs3BiSr(P2O7)2 (CBSPO) phosphors with significant thermal enhancement were successfully prepared using the solid-state method and the thermal-enhancing effect was studied in detail. When the temperature increased from 303 to 723 K, the upconversion luminescence (UCL) emission intensities of 2H11/2 → 4I15/2 and 2H11/2 + 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 of Er3+ in CBSPO:0.1Er3+/0.2Yb3+ were enhanced 22.81 and 10.06 times under 980 nm laser excitation, respectively. Meanwhile, the UCL color of the sample obviously changed from orange to green with the increase in temperature. Furthermore, the UCL thermal enhancement mechanism was demonstrated, which originates from phonon-assisted transitions. In addition, the maximum absolute temperature sensitivity for CBSPO:0.1Er3+/0.2Yb3+ was calculated to be 0.01026 K−1 at 563 K via luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technology. All the results show that the CBSPO:Er3+/Yb3+ phosphors can be used for safety warning and temperature measurement at high temperatures.

Series of Er 3+ /Yb 3+ -codoped Gd 2 Mo 3 O 12 (GMO:Er 3+ /2 x Yb 3+ ) microparticles with dual-mode luminescence were fabricated with the assistance of sol-gel method. The phase structure, morphological information, upconversion (UC) and down-shifting luminescence properties of the final products were systematically investigated. At 980 nm light irradiation, strong UC emissions rise in all the products and their intensities depend on the dopant concentration, where the optimum status occurs at x = 0.25 and the two-photon capture procedure results in the UC emission mechanism. Besides, excited at 378 nm, the down-shifting photoluminescence is also gained in resulting samples. By means of the fluorescence intensity ratio technique, the thermometric properties of the studied samples were investigated through analyzing the diverse thermal quenching features of the green emissions from thermally coupled levels of Er 3+ . When the UC emission is selected, the maximum absolute and relative sensitivities of the GMO:Er 3+ /2 x Yb 3+ microparticles are 0.0076 and 1.15% K −1 , respectively, whereas they shift to 0.0036 and 0.89% K −1 , respectively, when the down-shifting photoluminescence is adopted. Note that, the sensor sensitivities of developed microparticles are related to the luminescence mode, while they do not depend on Yb 3+ content. These results suggest that the GMO:Er 3+ /2 x Yb 3+ microparticles are promising thermosensitive luminescent materials for optical thermometry and their thermometric features can be tuned through changing luminescence mode.
