Second-Coordination-Sphere Cation Substitution as a Tool for Controlling Phase Transitions and Performance of the Luminescence Thermometry
Muhammad T. Abbas, M. Szymczak, M. Fandzloch +3
Despite the exceptionally high relative sensitivities achieved by luminescent thermometers based on first-order structural phase transitions, their principal limitation lies in the…
Structural Phase Transition and Cooperative Luminescence in K3Yb(PO4)2:Eu3+ for Multimodal Down-shifting and Up-converting Luminescence Thermometry
Anam Javaid, Maja Szymczak, Damian Szymanski +1
To develop a more universal luminescent thermometer that provides both high relative sensitivity and the ability to measure temperature across different spectral ranges and excitat…
Dual-Mode Luminescent Thermometry in LiYO2:Nd3+,Yb3+ Enabled by Structural Phase Transition and Phonon-Assisted Energy Transfer
M. Tahir Abbas, M. Szymczak, D. Szymanski +3
In this work, a dual-mode luminescent thermometer operating via both ratiometric and lifetime-based readout strategies was developed, enabled by the coexistence of two thermally dr…
Label free sub-diffraction imaging using non-linear photon avalanche backlight
Suresh Karmegam, Marcin Szalkowski, Malgorzata Misiak +3
Optical imaging below the limit of light diffraction offers an unprecedented opportunity to study outlook, organization, interactions or in-situ functioning of sub-micrometer, high…
Phase Transition Under Control: Toward Application-Oriented Luminescence Thermometry and Thermally Activated Emission
M. T. Abbas, M. Szymczak, D. Szymanski +4
Phase-transition-based luminescent thermometers are characterized by two inherent limitations: a narrow thermal operating range and the presence of a hysteresis loop in the thermom…
Modulating Thermometric Performance via Dopant Concentration and Morphology in Luminescence Thermometer Exhibiting Dual Structural Phase Transitions
Malgorzata Kubicka, Maja Szymczak, Maciej Ptak +4
Expanding the operational range of luminescent thermometers that utilize thermally induced structural phase transitions in lanthanide-doped materials necessitates the exploration o…
