ABSTRACTPhotoluminescence (PL) of annealed GaInNAs quantum well (QW) with varying temperature and laser excitation intensity is measured to understand the low temperature PL properties of annealed 6 nm GaInNAs QW. The measurements show that localization effect still exist in the QW even after annealing. This effect is characterized by an activation energy of 11 meV below the e1 state, which is obtained from fitting the integrated PL intensity vs. temperature curve with a single-activation-energy (SAE) model. This center is suggested to be related to the main localization center below the e1 state that could be resulted by N or In compositional fluctuation even after annealing.

AbstractCuTCNQ (TCNQ=7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) is a resistive switching charge-transfer complex which can be used for organic nonvolatile memories. In this contribution we report on a thorough investigation of the electrical switching of CuTCNQ memories. Our memories currently achieve an endurance of up to 10000 write/erase cycles with a clear distinction between ON and OFF reading currents. ON and OFF threshold voltages follow a Gaussian distribution. Temperature dependent measurements of CuTCNQ based organic memories show a semiconductor like behavior for the ON state. The retention time of the ON state exceeded 60 hours at room temperature. Electrical switching of CuTCNQ memories in air was virtually not affected by temperatures up to 80°C, but becomes erratic at 120°C. The CuTCNQ material itself already starts to decompose around 200°C in presence of oxygen as shown by thermogravimetric analysis.

AbstractFor achieving well-performing optical thermometry, a new type of dual-mode optical thermometer is explored based on the valley-to-peak ratio (VPR) and fluorescence lifetime of Eu3+ emissions in the ZrO2:Eu3+ nanocrystals with sizes down to 10 nm. In the VPR strategy, the intensity ratio between the valley (600 nm) generated by the emission band overlap and the 606 nm peak (5D0→7F2), which is highly temperature sensitive, is employed, giving the maximum relative sensing sensitivity (Sr) of 1.8% K−1 at 293 K and good anti-interference performance. Meanwhile, the 606 nm emission exhibits a temperature-dependent decay lifetime with the highest Sr of 0.33% K−1 at 573 K, which is due to the promoted nonradiative relaxation with temperature. These results provide useful information for constructing high-performance dual-mode optical thermometers, which may further stimulate the development of photosensitive nanomaterials for frontier applications.

AbstractRecently, numerous luminescent molecular thermometers that exhibit temperature-dependent emission properties have been developed to measure the temperatures of tiny spaces. Intracellular temperature is the most interesting and exciting applications of luminescent molecular thermometers because this temperature is assumed to be correlated with all cell events, such as cell division, gene expression, enzyme reaction, metabolism, and pathogenesis. Among the various types of temperature-dependent emission parameters of luminescent molecular thermometers, the emission intensity ratio at two different wavelengths is suitable for accurate and accessible intracellular temperature measurements. In this review article, luminescent molecular thermometers that exhibit a temperature-dependent emission intensity ratio in living cells are summarized, and current progress in intracellular thermometry is outlined.

Crystals of LiNbO3 single-doped with Sm3+, Tb3+, or Dy3+ and crystal of LiTaO3 single-doped with Tb3+ were grown by the Czochralski method. Luminescence spectra and decay curves for LiNbO3 samples containing Sm3+ or Dy3+ ions were recorded at different temperatures between 295 and 775 K, whereas those for samples containing Tb3+ ions were recorded at different temperatures between 10 and 300 K. Optical absorption spectra at different temperatures were recorded within the UV-blue region relevant to optical pumping of the samples. It was found that the effect of temperature on experimental luminescence lifetimes consists of the initial temperature-independent stage followed by a steep decrease with the onset at about 700, 600, and 150 K for Sm3+, Dy3+, and Tb3+ ions, respectively. Additionally, comparison of temperature impact on luminescence properties of LiNbO3:Tb3+ and LiTaO3:Tb3+ crystals has been adequately described. Experimental results were interpreted in terms of temperature-dependent charge transfer (CT) transitions within the modified Temperature—Dependent Charge Transfer phenomenological model (TDCT). Disparity of the onset temperatures and their sequence were explained based on the location of familiar zigzag curves connecting the ground state levels of rare earth ions with respect to the band-gap of the host. It was concluded also that LiNbO3:Sm3+ is suitable as an optical sensor within the 500–750 K temperature region whereas LiNbO3:Dy3+ offers the highest sensitivity at lower temperatures between 300 and 400 K.
