Abstract

Pr3+ doped PIN-PMN-PT (abbreviated as PIN-PMN-PT:Pr3+) ceramic was successfully fabricated by solid state sintering method. The structural, morphological, and luminescence properties were investigated by X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, steady-state photoluminescence, and transient-state photoluminescence spectra. The strong red emission band located at 649 nm can be effectively excited by light centered at 450 nm, 473 nm, and 487 nm, respectively. Under the excitation of light peaking at 487 nm, the temperature-dependent downshifting photoluminescence from 510 nm to 800 nm were recorded in the temperature range of 300 K to 480 K. The obvious luminescence quenching phenomena was detected as the increase of temperature. Based on fluorescence intensity ratio of 620 nm and 649 nm emission bands, the temperature sensing was achieved with maximum relative sensitivity value of 1.73% K−1 at 460 K. By studying the temperature-dependent decay curve of transient luminescence, the lifetime of 649 nm emission is confirmed to be sensitive to the change of temperature. Combined the temperature-dependent fluorescence intensity ratio with temperature-dependent fluorescence lifetime, dual-mode temperature sensing was achieved based on photoluminescence. These results show Pr3+ doped PIN-PMN-PT ceramic is a promising candidate for thermometry, which may find its applications in the scientific research and industry.
