In this study, a series of novel Tb3+/Mn4+ co-doped SrLaMgNbO6 phosphors were synthesized and investigated for their structural, luminescence spectroscopic, and decay kinetics properties. The results showed that the phosphors exhibited temperature-dependent photoluminescence with distinct differences in fluorescence intensity ratios of Tb3+ and Mn4+, making them a viable candidate for dual-mode optical temperature detection.
Remote and noncontact surface temperature measurements are frequently required yet challenging to execute. One the most promising options consists in using rare earth or transition metal doped materials as optical (luminescence) temperature sensors. In this paper, a series of novel Tb3+/Mn4+ co-doped SrLaMgNbO6 (SLMN) phosphors have been synthesized and thoroughly investigated for their structural, luminescence spectroscopic and decay kinetics properties as well as for temperature sensing performance. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis has shown that the prepared sample presents a double perovskite structure. Upon the UV excitation, emission spectra of SLMN:Tb3+, Mn4+ exhibit green and red emission bands for Tb3+ and Mn4+ dopants, respectively. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (TD-PL) studies revealed sever thermal quenching of Mn4+ emission while that of Tb3+ was moderate providing well pronounced difference in fluorescence intensity ratios (FIR) of the ions. The maximum relative sensitivity (Sr) was found to be 3.27% K-1 and 1.92% K-1 for Mn4+ and Tb3+, respectively. This implies that SLMN: Tb3+, Mn4+ phosphor is a viable candidate material for a dual-mode optical temperature detection.
