Thermal-Energy-Boosted Luminescence for Precise Optical Thermometry in Eu/Tb-Doped ScNbO4 (Advanced Optical Materials 27/2025)
High-Contrast Color-Changing Optical-Thermometry
In the Research Article, Sangwon Wi, Yunsang Lee, and co-workers introduce a novel optical thermometry method leveraging thermally-boosted luminescence in Eu/Tb-doped ScNbO4. Exploiting contrasting temperature-dependent behaviors—Eu3+ luminescence increases while Tb3+ decreases with temperature—this approach achieves outstanding sensitivity (5.48% K−1), distinct spectral discrimination, and spatial resolution, paving the way for precise, stable, and versatile thermal sensing applications.
