摘要

Ca9Y(PO4)7: Er3+, Yb3+ upconversion phosphors were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state method. The crystal structure, upconversion emission properties, and optical thermometric performance of the samples were systematically investigated. Under 980-nm excitation, three emission bands located at 527, 553, and 651 nm were observed, corresponding to the transitions of ²H11/2→⁴I15/2, ⁴S3/2→⁴I15/2, and ⁴F9/2→⁴I15/2 of Er³⁺, respectively. The emission intensities showed strong dependence on Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ concentrations. Based on the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) method, the temperature-sensing properties of both thermally coupled levels (TCLs: 2H11/2 - 4S3/2) and non-thermally coupled levels (NTCLs: 2H11/2 - 4F9/2) were evaluated. The maximum absolute sensitivity (Sa) and relative sensitivity (Sr) were found to be 0.00894 K-1 at 750 K and 1.41%·K-1 at 327 K for TCLs, and 0.0022 K-1 at 853 K and 0.51%·K-1 at 523 K for NTCLs, respectively. These results demonstrate the promising potential of Ca9Y(PO4)7: Er3+, Yb3+ phosphors for optical temperature sensing applications across a wide temperature range.
