Highly -sensitive near infrared luminescent nanothermometers based on binary mixture
摘要： We propose a simple strategy to obtain a luminescence intensity ratio nanothermometer operating in the near infrared range (1000 – 1700 nm) by use of binary mixtures of lanthanide doped Y2O3 selected as 1%Ho - Y2O3 + 1%Er - Y2O3 and 1%Ho - Y2O3 + 1%Nd - Y2O3. All nanoparticles were synthetized by citrate complexation method and thermally annealed at 800 °C. The temperature evolution of the emission properties was monitored in the range of 297 – 472 K and analyzed in terms of emission shape, intensity, dynamics, excitation wavelength, acquisition mode and weight ratio of the binary mixture. A maximum relative sensitivity of 1%K-1 at 297 K was recorded for the 3:1 weight ratio Ho – Y2O3 + Er – Y2O3 binary mixture upon excitation at 536.8 nm. For the more appropriate excitation wavelength for bioimaging applications at 649.7 nm, a relative sensitivity of 0.55 - 0.6 % K-1 was recorded in the relevant physiological temperature range (300 -320 K) for the 3:1 weight ratio Ho – Y2O3 + Er – Y2O3 binary mixture. To the best of our knowledge, our study also represents a first report on the near -infrared luminescence (around 1200 nm) lifetime thermometry for a Ho doped nanoparticle. Comparison with the literature demonstrates that our system represents a promising near-infrared thermometer, with a non-sophisticated and reproducible configuration that is open to multiple optimization routes.

Apparent self-heating of individual upconverting nanoparticle thermometers
摘要： Individual luminescent nanoparticles enable thermometry with sub-diffraction limited spatial resolution, but potential self-heating effects from high single-particle excitation intensities remain largely uninvestigated because thermal models predict negligible self-heating. Here, we report that the common “ratiometric” thermometry signal of individual NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles unexpectedly increases with excitation intensity, implying a temperature rise over 50 K if interpreted as thermal. Luminescence lifetime thermometry, which we demonstrate for the first time using individual NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles, indicates a similar temperature rise. To resolve this apparent contradiction between model and experiment, we systematically vary the nanoparticle’s thermal environment: the substrate thermal conductivity, nanoparticle-substrate contact resistance, and nanoparticle size. The apparent self-heating remains unchanged, demonstrating that this effect is an artifact, not a real temperature rise. Using rate equation modeling, we show that this artifact results from increased radiative and non-radiative relaxation from higher-lying Er3+ energy levels. This study has important implications for single-particle thermometry.

Evaluation of nitric oxide laser-induced fluorescence thermometry techniques in a hypersonic boundary layer
摘要： Nitric oxide planar laser-induced fluorescence was performed to measure the wall-normal distribution of static temperature through a hypersonic boundary layer. A 10-degree half-angle wedge model was oriented at a 5-degree angle of attack in the NASA Langley 31-in Mach 10 facility, resulting in a 5-degree flow turning angle and an edge Mach number of 7.6. Nitric oxide was seeded through a spanwise slot into the boundary layer upstream of the imaging region and was excited with a pulsed ultraviolet planar laser sheet. The laser was spectrally scanned across six fluorescence transitions in the (0, 0) band of the A2Σ+–X2Π system. Eighteen thermometry methods were assessed through comparison to predictions of the temperature field from computational fluid dynamics simulations. The effect of spectral resolution and laser linewidth on measurement uncertainty was also investigated. The most accurate technique was spectral peak thermometry, which achieved an accuracy of ± 31.6 K (12.6% error relative to CFD temperature). The spectral peak thermometry technique required a minimum spectral resolution between 0.074 and 0.102 cm?1 to extract meaningful temperature information from the spectra and a maximum laser linewidth of 0.49 cm?1.

Color tunable upconversion luminescence and optical thermometry properties of mixed Gd2O3:Yb3+/Ho3+/Er3+ nanoparticles prepared via laser ablation in liquid
摘要： The mixtures of Gd2O3:Yb3+/Er3+ and Gd2O3:Yb3+/Ho3+ nanoparticles were successfully prepared via pulsed laser ablation in liquid followed by solution mixing. Under excitation of 980 nm diode laser, tunable color from green to red emission was achieved. Based on the thermal linked energy levels, the temperature sensitive upconversion emission was observed. The fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of I513–530 nm/I530–580 nm increased as the elevation of temperature. The absolute sensitivity and relative sensitivity were derived from temperature dependent FIR. The results show that the mixture of Gd2O3:Yb3+/Er3+ and Gd2O3:Yb3+/Ho3+ nanoparticles are not only potential candidates for multicolor upconversion luminescence but also promising optical materials for non-contact optical thermometry.

Stereotactic laser interstitial thermal therapy for brainstem cavernous malformations: two preliminary cases
摘要： Brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs) often have high hemorrhage rates and significant posthemorrhage morbidity. The authors present two cases in which magnetic resonance thermography-guided laser interstitial therapy was used for treatment of pontine CMs after recurrent hemorrhage. Both patients showed significant symptomatic improvement and were hemorrhage-free at 12- and 6-month follow-up, respectively. Each had radiographic evidence of lesion involution on serial follow-up imaging. These early results demonstrate this treatment modality may be technically safe; however, larger case numbers and longer follow-up are needed to demonstrate efficacy.

[IEEE 2018 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2018) - Paris, France (2018.7.8-2018.7.13)] 2018 Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2018) - Advance on Single Pressure Refractive Index Gas Thermometry
摘要： A novel single pressure refractive index gas thermometry(SPRIGT) of thermodynamic temperature of helium gas filled in quasi-spherical microwave cavity resonator(QMCR) by combination of microwave measurements, temperature and pressure control. A long-term temperature stability better than 0.2mK is demanded for the QMCR from 5K to 24.5561 K. The uncertainty below 4ppm for pressure needs to precisely control the oscillation of temperature along the gas line. Microwave resonance frequency measurement in QMCR should be better than 2ppb. To meet these requirements, SPRIGT has been built in China and the first run experimental data was analysis in this paper.

Use of Machine Learning with Temporal Photoluminescence Signals from CdTe Quantum Dots for Temperature Measurement in Microfluidic Devices
摘要： Because of the vital role of temperature in many biological processes studied in microfluidic devices, there is a need to develop improved temperature sensors and data analysis algorithms. The photoluminescence (PL) of nanocrystals (quantum dots) has been successfully used in microfluidic temperature devices, but the accuracy of the reconstructed temperature has been limited to about 1 K over a temperature range of tens of degrees. A machine learning algorithm consisting of a fully-connected network of seven layers with decreasing numbers of nodes was developed and applied to a combination of normalized spectral and time-resolved PL data of CdTe quantum dot emission in a microfluidic device. The data used by the algorithm was collected over two temperature ranges: 10 K to 300 K, and 298 K to 319 K. The accuracy of each neural network was assessed via mean absolute error of a holdout set of data. For the low temperature regime, the accuracy was 7.7 K, or 0.4 K when the holdout set is restricted to temperatures above 100 K. For the high temperature regime, the accuracy was 0.1 K. This method provides demonstrates a potential machine learning approach to accurately sense temperature in microfluidic (and potentially nanofluidic) devices when the data analysis is based on normalized PL data when it is stable over time.

Thermometry in a Gas Discharge Cell of an Optical Wavelength Calibrator
摘要： Temperature and pressure in a sealed Ar cell of an optical wavelength calibrator are measured using diode laser spectroscopy. The values of the thermodynamic parameters allowed determination of the fluctuations of the shift of the argon line at 811.5 nm. The expected fluctuation amplitude appears lower than ±15 MHz. The result obtained indicates the applicability of the studied calibrator as an optical reference and the correctness of previous measurements of pressure shift coefficients of the 811.5 nm argon line.

Cross-band infrared laser absorption of carbon monoxide for thermometry and species sensing in high-pressure rocket flows
摘要： A novel cross-band laser absorption spectroscopy technique has been developed for quantitative measurements of gas temperature and carbon monoxide (CO) in high-pressure, high-temperature rocket combustion flows. The strategy enables a broad range of sensor operability by simultaneously probing rovibrational transitions in both the fundamental and first overtone bands of CO near 4.98 μm and 2.32 μm, respectively, which sustain large differences in temperature dependence despite collisional broadening. Scanned-wavelength modulation spectroscopy methods are integrated for noise rejection in the harsh rocket operating environment. Initial experiments using the cross-band thermometry technique have been conducted on a single-element-injector rocket combustor with RP-2/GOx and CH4∕GOx propellant combinations at pressures up to 75 bar. Measurements of the first overtone bandhead (2.32 μm) maintained adequate signal-to-noise at even higher pressures (up to 105 bar), although deviating significantly from spectral simulations. To account for collisional effects at high gas densities, empirical models for line mixing, developed via shock tube studies, were employed to enable quantitative interpretation of measured signals for temperature and CO mole fraction in the rocket combustor.

Direct molecular-level near-field plasmon and temperature assessment in a single plasmonic hotspot
摘要： Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is currently widely recognized as an essential but still emergent technique for exploring the nanoscale. However, our lack of comprehension of crucial parameters still limits its potential as a user-friendly analytical tool. The tip’s surface plasmon resonance, heating due to near-field temperature rise, and spatial resolution are undoubtedly three challenging experimental parameters to unravel. However, they are also the most fundamentally relevant parameters to explore, because they ultimately influence the state of the investigated molecule and consequently the probed signal. Here we propose a straightforward and purely experimental method to access quantitative information of the plasmon resonance and near-field temperature experienced exclusively by the molecules directly contributing to the TERS signal. The detailed near-field optical response, both at the molecular level and as a function of time, is evaluated using standard TERS experimental equipment by simultaneously probing the Stokes and anti-Stokes spectral intensities. Self-assembled 16-mercaptohexadodecanoic acid monolayers covalently bond to an ultra-flat gold surface were used as a demonstrator. Observation of blinking lines in the spectra also provides crucial information on the lateral resolution and indication of atomic-scale thermally induced morphological changes of the tip during the experiment. This study provides access to unprecedented molecular-level information on physical parameters that crucially affect experiments under TERS conditions. The study thereby improves the usability of TERS in day-to-day operation. The obtained information is of central importance for any experimental plasmonic investigation and for the application of TERS in the field of nanoscale thermometry.
