Luminescent Platform for Thermal Sensing and Imaging Based on Structural Phase-Transition.

ABSTRACT: The luminescent properties of Eu³⁺ ions are highly sensitive to changes in their local crystal environment. While this feature has been widely studied, its application in thermometers based on thermally induced structural phase transitions is a recent development. These thermometers often suffer from a narrow thermal operating range, prompting the search for new host materials. In this context, Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ as a function of temperature and dopant ion concentration. As demonstrated, Na₃Sc₂(PO₄)₃:Eu³⁺ was investigated as a potential candidate. This material undergoes a reversible phase transition from a monoclinic to a trigonal structure, leading to significant change
