YVO4:Nd3+ nanophosphors as NIR-to-NIR thermal sensors in wide temperature range

Abstract We report on the potential application of NIR–to–NIR Nd3+-doped yttrium vanadate nanoparticles with both emission and excitation operating within biological windows as thermal sensors in 123–873 K temperature range. It was demonstrated that thermal sensing could be based on three temperatur...
