摘要

Abstract

Ratiometric luminescence thermometry with trivalent lanthanide ions and their 4f

energy levels is an emerging technique for non-invasive remote temperature sensing with high spatial and temporal resolution. Conventional ratiometric luminescence thermometry often relies on thermal coupling between two closely lying energy levels governed by Boltzmann's law. Despite its simplicity

Boltzmann thermometry with two excited levels allows precise temperature sensing

but only within a limited temperature range. While low temperatures slow down the nonradiative transitions required to generate a measurable population in the higher excitation level

temperatures that are too high favour equalized populations of the two excited levels

at the expense of low relative thermal sensitivity. In this work

we extend the concept of Boltzmann thermometry to more than two excited levels and provide quantitative guidelines that link the choice of energy gaps between multiple excited states to the performance in different temperature windows. By this approach

it is possible to retain the high relative sensitivity and precision of the temperature measurement over a wide temperature range within the same system. We demonstrate this concept using YAl

(BO

)

(YAB): Pr

with an excited

crystal field and spin-orbit split levels of Gd

in the UV range to avoid a thermal black body background even at the highest temperatures. This phosphor is easily excitable with inexpensive and powerful blue LEDs at 450 nm. Zero-background luminescence thermometry is realized by using blue-to-UV energy transfer upconversion with the Pr

−Gd

couple upon excitation in the visible range. This method allows us to cover a temperature window between 30 and 800 K.
