By pretreating the nano-HAP powders surface with AMPTES, fluorescein, chosen on the basis of the chemical structure of the nano- HAP powders, could be bound to the nano-HAP powders surface. The chemical compositions of nano-HAP before and after being labeled were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The morphology, phase composition, and the fluorescence characteristics of the nano-HAP powders with and without staining were also investigated. The FTIR and XPS results revealed that fluorescein had been successfully immobilized on the surface of AMPTES-bound nano-HAP powders via the acylamide bond formation between the -COOH of fluorescein and the -NH2 of AMPTES. The labeled nano-HAP powders possessed strong fluorescent intensity with a little deviation from the maximum emission wavelength of fluorescein. But the morphology and phase composition had no obvious alteration. Under fluorescence microscopy, the labeled nano-HAP powders, even after 24 h cell incubation, exhibited strong fluorescence.展开更多

However, up to now detailed work has seldom been done to clarify this abnormal phenomenon. In this paper, green upconversion luminescence of the β-NaLuF4：20%yb3＋,2%Er3＋ powder sample was investigated under 980 um excitation at different circumstances, different pump power densities and different temperatures as well as different air pressures. The corresponding local temperature calculated using FIR technique increased gradually with the enhancement of the pump power density. It was demonstrated that high pump power density of 980 nm laser led to the increase of local temperature of the luminescent material, which further gave the abnormal FIR.展开更多

In this work, Zn-Cu-In-S （ZCIS） alloyed QDs were synthesized via a solvothermal approach by heating up a mixture of the corresponding metal precursors and sulphur powder with dodecanethiol in oleylamine media, and the fluorescent intensity was greatly enhanced by coating ZnS （ZS） shell. By changing the ratio of Cu, the as prepared ZCIS-ZS QDs showed composition-tunable photoluminescent （PL） emission over the visible spectral window from about 500 nm to 620 rim, which is much wider than that of CIS QDs. Moreover, the influence of excitation wavelength, reaction temperature and time on the optical properties of the ZCIS-ZS QDs was also studied. This research provides a feasible and simple approach to prepare ZCIS-ZS QDs with large tunable spectral range on visible region, which could greatly contribute to the development of potential applications due to their non-toxicity and excellent optical properties.展开更多

Herein, the novel Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+)co-doped K_(3)SrBi(P_(2)O_(7))_(2)(KSBP) phosphate phosphors were reported. The crystal structure of the title phosphor was determined using Rietveld refinement and proved to have a three-dimensional structure. The time-resolved spectroscopy reveals that there is almost no energy transfer between Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+). More importantly, Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+)emissions show different thermal quenching behaviors, which claims the potential of this material for application in optical thermometer. The FIR of the typical KSBP:0.02Tb^(3+),0.04Eu^(3+)sample demonstrates a polynomial relationship as a function of temperature and the absolute and relative sensitivity are0.025 K^(-1) and 0.59%/K, respectively. In general, our study reports a novel and potential KSBP:Tb^(3+),Eu^(3+)phosphate phosphor that is promising for use in high-sensitive FIR thermometers.展开更多

Upconversion emissions at green -544 nm, red -657 and -751 nm were obtained under 980 nm laser diode excitation. The intensity at -544 nm was much stronger than those of -657 and -751 nm. The mechanisms of the upconversion emissions were investigated by studying the relationship between the upconversion intensity and pump power. The optimized Yb3＋ concentration was about 8.08moi% when Ho3＋ concentration was hold at about 1.0mol%. The results showed that Ho3＋/yb3＋ doped α-NaYF4 single crystal was a possible candidate upconversion material for the green solid-state laser.展开更多

Nevertheless, there are many unresolved issues with the toxicity of CDs in vitro and in vivo. In the study, CDs were synthesized by citric acid and ethylenediamine into deionized water, then the inhalation toxicity and bio-distribution of CDs in vivo were systematically assessed. The results showed that CDs caused animals death at higher dosages and induced injury in the lung and liver including inflammation and necrosis after single inhalation exposure at 5, 2 and 1 mg/kg dosages of the CDs. We also found that the injury increase with a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Fluorescent examination and TEM results showed that CDs mainly located at the lung and liver.And the fluorescent intensity increase with a time-dependent manner. This study provides a theoretical basis of the respiratory toxicity of CDs, and provides a basis for the use of CDs as a bio-marker.展开更多

However,the characterization of bEPS can be affected by extraction methods. Five sets（including the control） of bEPS from Microcystis extracted by different methods were characterized using three-dimensional excitation and emission matrix（3DEEM） fluorescence spectroscopy combined chemical spectrophotometry; and the characterization results of bEPS samples were further compared. The agents used for extraction were NaOH,pure water and phosphate buffered saline（PBS） containing cationic exchange resins,and hot water. Extraction methods affected the fluorescence signals and intensities in the bEPS. Five fluorescence peaks were observed in the excitation and emission matrix fluorescence spectra of bEPS samples. Two peaks（peaks T1 and T2） present in all extractions were identified as protein-like fluorophores,two（peaks A and C） as humic-like fluorophores,and one（peak E） as a fulvic-like substance.Among these substances,the humic-like and fulvic-like fluorescences were only seen in the bEPS extracted with hot water. Also,NaOH solution extraction could result in strong fluorescence intensities compared to the other extraction methods. It was suggested that NaOH at pH 10.0 was the most appropriate method to extract bEPS from Microcystis. In addition,dialysis could affect the yields and characteristics of extracted bEPS during the determination process. These results will help us to explore the issues of cyanobacterial blooms.展开更多

By pretreating the nano-HAP powders surface with AMPTES, fluorescein, chosen on the basis of the chemical structure of the nano- HAP powders, could be bound to the nano-HAP powders surface. The chemical compositions of nano-HAP before and after being labeled were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The morphology, phase composition, and the fluorescence characteristics of the nano-HAP powders with and without staining were also investigated. The FTIR and XPS results revealed that fluorescein had been successfully immobilized on the surface of AMPTES-bound nano-HAP powders via the acylamide bond formation between the -COOH of fluorescein and the -NH2 of AMPTES. The labeled nano-HAP powders possessed strong fluorescent intensity with a little deviation from the maximum emission wavelength of fluorescein. But the morphology and phase composition had no obvious alteration. Under fluorescence microscopy, the labeled nano-HAP powders, even after 24 h cell incubation, exhibited strong fluorescence.

文摘An abnormal fluorescence intensity ratio （FIR） between two green emissions of Er3＋, at room temperature, which is larger than a normal value, emerged in many reported articles. However, up to now detailed work has seldom been done to clarify this abnormal phenomenon. In this paper, green upconversion luminescence of the β-NaLuF4：20%yb3＋,2%Er3＋ powder sample was investigated under 980 um excitation at different circumstances, different pump power densities and different temperatures as well as different air pressures. The corresponding local temperature calculated using FIR technique increased gradually with the enhancement of the pump power density. It was demonstrated that high pump power density of 980 nm laser led to the increase of local temperature of the luminescent material, which further gave the abnormal FIR.

文摘The Ultrasonic cavitation effect has been widely used in mechanical engineering,chemical engineering,biomedicine,and many other fields.The quantitative characterization of ultrasonic cavitation intensity has always been a difficulty.Based on this,a fluorescence analysis method has been adopted to explore ultrasonic cavitation intensity in this paper.In the experiment of fluorescence intensity measurement,terephthalic acid(TA)was used as the fluorescent probe,ultrasonic power,ultrasonic frequency,and irradiation time were independent variables,and fluorescence intensity and fluorescence peak area were used as experimental results.The collapse of cavitation bubble will cause molecular bond breakage and release·OH,and the non-fluorescent substance TA will form the strong fluorescent substance TAOH with·OH.The spectra of the treated samples were measured by a F-7000 fluorescence spectrophotometer.The results showed that the fluorescence intensity and fluorescence peak area increased rapidly after ultrasonic cavitation treatment,and then increased slowly with the increase of ultrasonic power,which gradually increased with the increase of irradiation time.They first decreased and then increased with the increase of ultrasonic frequency from 20 kHz to 40 kHz.The irradiation time was the most influential factor,and the cavitation intensity of low frequency was higher overall.The fluorescence intensity and fluorescence peak area of the samples increased by 2-20 times after ultrasonic treatment,which could increase from 69 and 5238 to 1387 and 95451,respectively.After the irradiation time exceeded 25 min,the growth rate of fluorescence intensity slowed down,which was caused by the decrease of gas content and TA concentration in the solution.The study quantitatively characterized the cavitation intensity,reflecting the advantages of fluorescence analysis,and provided a basis for the further study of ultra-sonic cavitation.

文摘Cadmium-free Ⅰ-Ⅲ-Ⅵ quantum dots （QDs）, represented by Cu-In-S （CIS）, are widely investigated for their non-toxicity and tunable emission properties. In this work, Zn-Cu-In-S （ZCIS） alloyed QDs were synthesized via a solvothermal approach by heating up a mixture of the corresponding metal precursors and sulphur powder with dodecanethiol in oleylamine media, and the fluorescent intensity was greatly enhanced by coating ZnS （ZS） shell. By changing the ratio of Cu, the as prepared ZCIS-ZS QDs showed composition-tunable photoluminescent （PL） emission over the visible spectral window from about 500 nm to 620 rim, which is much wider than that of CIS QDs. Moreover, the influence of excitation wavelength, reaction temperature and time on the optical properties of the ZCIS-ZS QDs was also studied. This research provides a feasible and simple approach to prepare ZCIS-ZS QDs with large tunable spectral range on visible region, which could greatly contribute to the development of potential applications due to their non-toxicity and excellent optical properties.

文摘Rare earth co-doped phosphor for fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR) thermometer has gained increasing attention in recent years. Herein, the novel Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+)co-doped K_(3)SrBi(P_(2)O_(7))_(2)(KSBP) phosphate phosphors were reported. The crystal structure of the title phosphor was determined using Rietveld refinement and proved to have a three-dimensional structure. The time-resolved spectroscopy reveals that there is almost no energy transfer between Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+). More importantly, Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+)emissions show different thermal quenching behaviors, which claims the potential of this material for application in optical thermometer. The FIR of the typical KSBP:0.02Tb^(3+),0.04Eu^(3+)sample demonstrates a polynomial relationship as a function of temperature and the absolute and relative sensitivity are0.025 K^(-1) and 0.59%/K, respectively. In general, our study reports a novel and potential KSBP:Tb^(3+),Eu^(3+)phosphate phosphor that is promising for use in high-sensitive FIR thermometers.

文摘Nd^(3+)-doped tellurite glasses are promising materials for thermometers based on the fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR)technique.Nevertheless,at high Nd^(3+)concentrations,energy transfer(ET)processes such as optical reabsorption and cross-relaxation can affect the Nd^(3+)emission,which has been little explored in the literature.Therefore,the present work investigated the use of Nd^(3+)-doped tellurite glass(samples doped with Nd^(3+)at 0.2 mol%,0.5 mol%,2.0 mol%,and 4.0 mol%)in fluorescence thermometers,in the temperature range from 299 to 371 K.The results indicate a strong dependence of the FIR parameters on the Nd^(3+)concentration,due to changes in the emission band profiles caused by optical reabsorption of the Nd^(3+)emissions and cross-relaxation processes.A decrease of the relative sensitivity of the ratio^(4)F_(5/2)→^(4)I_(9/2)/^(4)F_(3/2)→^(4)I_(9/2)is observed for samples doped with higher amounts of Nd^(3+).The maximum relative sensitivity at 299 K is 3.00%/K,which is the highest value among the reported Nd^(3+)ions.

文摘With the increasing demand for non-co ntact fluorescence intensity ratio-based optical thermometry,novel phosphor materials with high-efficiency,dual-emitting centers,and differentiable temperature sensitivity are highly desired,In this wo rk,rare earth Eu^(2+) ions were incorporated Wnto CsCu_(2)I_(3) microcrystals by solidstate reaction,Under a single UV excitation,the as-synthesized samples exhibit two emissions:452 nm blue emission from the 5d→4f transition of Eu^(2+)and 582 nm yellow emission from self-trapped exciton e mission of CsCu_(2)I_(3).The photoluminescence quantum yield reaches to 50%,The dual-band emission of Eu^(2+)-doped CsCu_(2)I_(3) shows different temperature responses in the range of 260-360 K.Based on fluorescence intensity ratio technology,the maximum absolute sensitivity and re Iative sensitivity are 0.091 K^(-1)(at 360 K) and 2.60%/K(at 260 K),respectively.These results suggest that Eu^(2+)-doped GsCu_(2)I_(3) could be a good candidate for highly sensitive optical thermometer.

文摘In this research,a series of Sm^(3+) doped CsLu(WO_(4))_(2) phosphors was prepared via high temperature solid phase technique to design new red phosphors and optical thermometric materials.Their structures,morphology,band gap and luminescence properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,diffuse reflection and luminescence spectra,respectively.Under UV excitation,CsLu(WO_(4))_(2) gives rise to a blue broad emission band between 350 and 700 nm,which stems from the ^(3)T_(1u)→^(1)A_(1g) transition of WO_(6)^(6-) groups.When Sm^(3+) is introduced into CsLu(WO_(4))_(2),energy transfer between WO_(6)^(6-) groups and Sm^(3+) ions takes place in CsLu(WO_(4))_(2):Sm^(3+)phosphors,and color-tunable luminescence from blue to red is realized by controlling the Sm^(3+) doping concentration.The energy transfer efficiency between WO_(6)^(6-) groups and Sm^(3+) ons was analyzed,and the energy transfer mechanism was determined to be dipole-dipole interactions.According to the temperature-dependent luminescence spectra,WO_(6)^(6-)groups and Sm^(3+)ions exhibit large discrepancy in thermal quenching rates,and thus the temperature sensing properties of CsLu(WO_(4))_(2):Sm^(3+) in the temperature range of 283-403 K were analyzed.Based on the framework of fluorescence intensity ratio theory,the basic optical thermometry parameters including absolute and relative sensitivity of CsLu(WO_(4))_(2):Sm^(3+) we re calculated and the results show that it has great potential for application in optical thermometry.

文摘The Ho3＋/yb3＋ co-doped a-NaYF4 single crystal was grown successfully for the first time by a modified Bridgman method in which KF was used as assisting flux and a large temperature gradient （70-90℃ /cm） of solid-liquid interface was adopted. Upconversion emissions at green -544 nm, red -657 and -751 nm were obtained under 980 nm laser diode excitation. The intensity at -544 nm was much stronger than those of -657 and -751 nm. The mechanisms of the upconversion emissions were investigated by studying the relationship between the upconversion intensity and pump power. The optimized Yb3＋ concentration was about 8.08moi% when Ho3＋ concentration was hold at about 1.0mol%. The results showed that Ho3＋/yb3＋ doped α-NaYF4 single crystal was a possible candidate upconversion material for the green solid-state laser.

文摘Because of the advantages of excellent light stability, carbon dots（CDs） are considered to be a promising agent in the bio-marker application. Nevertheless, there are many unresolved issues with the toxicity of CDs in vitro and in vivo. In the study, CDs were synthesized by citric acid and ethylenediamine into deionized water, then the inhalation toxicity and bio-distribution of CDs in vivo were systematically assessed. The results showed that CDs caused animals death at higher dosages and induced injury in the lung and liver including inflammation and necrosis after single inhalation exposure at 5, 2 and 1 mg/kg dosages of the CDs. We also found that the injury increase with a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Fluorescent examination and TEM results showed that CDs mainly located at the lung and liver.And the fluorescent intensity increase with a time-dependent manner. This study provides a theoretical basis of the respiratory toxicity of CDs, and provides a basis for the use of CDs as a bio-marker.

文摘Herein,we reported novel Y_(4)GeO_(8):Er^(3+),Yb^(3+)phosphors elaborated via conventional solid-state reaction.and we further explored their properties as optical thermometer by using fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR)method complemented by detailed analysis on crystal structure,up-conversion luminescence and energy transfer from Yb^(3+)to Er^(3+).Upon 980 nm laser excitation,Y_(4)GeO_(8):Er^(3+),Yb^(3+)phosphors present525,547 and 659 nm emission bands assigned to the characteristic transitions of Er^(3+).Furthermore,Y_(4)GeO_(8):Er^(3+),Yb^(3+)samples show outstanding temperature sensing performances.To be specific,the minimal temperature resolution is 0.03 K(303 K),and the relative sensitivity of FIR can be up to 1.152%/K(303 K).Hence,Y_(4)GeO_(8):Er^(3+),Yb^(3+)phosphors can be possible candidates for thermometry devices.

文摘Preliminary characterization of bound extracellular polymeric substances（bEPS） of cyanobacteria is crucial to obtain a better understanding of the formation mechanism of cyanobacterial bloom. However,the characterization of bEPS can be affected by extraction methods. Five sets（including the control） of bEPS from Microcystis extracted by different methods were characterized using three-dimensional excitation and emission matrix（3DEEM） fluorescence spectroscopy combined chemical spectrophotometry; and the characterization results of bEPS samples were further compared. The agents used for extraction were NaOH,pure water and phosphate buffered saline（PBS） containing cationic exchange resins,and hot water. Extraction methods affected the fluorescence signals and intensities in the bEPS. Five fluorescence peaks were observed in the excitation and emission matrix fluorescence spectra of bEPS samples. Two peaks（peaks T1 and T2） present in all extractions were identified as protein-like fluorophores,two（peaks A and C） as humic-like fluorophores,and one（peak E） as a fulvic-like substance.Among these substances,the humic-like and fulvic-like fluorescences were only seen in the bEPS extracted with hot water. Also,NaOH solution extraction could result in strong fluorescence intensities compared to the other extraction methods. It was suggested that NaOH at pH 10.0 was the most appropriate method to extract bEPS from Microcystis. In addition,dialysis could affect the yields and characteristics of extracted bEPS during the determination process. These results will help us to explore the issues of cyanobacterial blooms.

文摘Herein,we demonstrate an optical thermometer based on single Eu^(2+)doped Ca_(9)Mg_(1.5)(PO_4)_7 phosphors,which were prepared by traditional solid-state reaction technique under a reduction atmosphere.Considerations on the bond length obtained by the crystal structure refinement and the dependent photoluminescence performances allow to assign the two distinct emission bands to Eu^(2+)ions occupied Cal-Ca3 and Mg2 sites.Moreover,the blue and red emitting bands perfectly match with the photosynthetic action spectrum,which can enhance the indoor plant photosynthesis.The optimal doping content of Eu^(2+)ions in this Ca_(9)Mg_(1.5)(PO_(4))_(7)system is 3 mol%.The corresponding concentration quenching effect is verified as dipole-dipole interaction with the critical distance of 3.315 nm.Furthermore,by exploiting the fluorescence intensity technique,the optical thermal resistance properties of Ca_(9)Mg_(1.5)(PO_4)_7:Eu^(2+)are identified based on the temperature dependent emission spectra in a range of 303-523 K.In detail,the maximum absolute and relative sensitivity S_(a)and S_(r)of Ca_9Mg_(1.5)(PO_(4))_(7):Eu^(2+)thermometer are as high as 0.637%/K and 0.3155 K^(-1),respectively.Consequently,the Eu^(2+)doped Ca_(9)Mg_(1.5)(PO_(4))_(7)phosphors establish a bifunctional platfo rm for both optical the rmometer and plant growth lighting via multi-site occupancies.

文摘The crystal structure and surface morphology of the Er^(3+)/Yb^(3+)/Na+:ZnWO_(4) phosphors synthesized by solid state reaction method were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) analysis.The frequency upconversion(UC) emission study in the developed phosphors was investigated by using 980 nm laser diode excitation.The effect of codoping in the Er^(3+):ZnWO_(4) phosphors on the UC emission intensity was studied.The UC emission bands that are exhibited in the blue(490 nm),green(530,552 nm),red(668 nm) and NIR(800 nm) region correspond to the ^(4)F_(7/2)→^(4)I_(15/2).^(2)H_(11/2),^(4)S_(3/2)→^(4)I_(15/2),^(4)F_(9/2)→^(4)I_(15/2) and ^(4)I9/2→^(4)I_(15/2) transitions,respectively.The temperature sensing performance of the Er^(3+)-Yb^(3+)-Na+:ZnWO_(4) phosphors was investigated based on the 2 H_(11/2)→^(4)I_(15/2) and ^(4)S_(3/2)→^(4)I_(15/2) thermally coupled transitions of the Er^(3+)ions.The photometric study was also carried out for the developed phosphors.

文摘Accurate temperature measurement plays an important role in a variety of industrial processes and scientific researches.In our work,the dual-mode temperature response nanoprobe CDs-Tb-TMPDPA containing a two-photon ligand(4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid,TMPDPA)sensitized Tb3+as a temperature-sensitive unit and carbon dots(CDs)as photothermal reagent and a fluorescence reference unit,have been designed and synthesized.In this system,both the fluorescence intensity ratio and the fluorescence lifetime have a good response to temperature.In additio n,due to the excellent photothermal conversion capability of CDs,photothermal antibacterial ability was also tested.Based on the temperature dependence of the fluorescence and the two-photon excitation characteristics of CDs-Tb-TMPDPA,the nanoprobe can also be used in the anti-counterfeiting.Our finding opens a new prospect for the use of two-photon sensitized dual-mode fluorescence thermometers.

文摘The green and red up-conversion emissions centred at about 534, 549 and 663 nm of wavelength, corresponding respectively to the ^2H11/2 → ^4I15/2, ^4S3/2 → ^4I15/2 and ^4F9/2 → ^4I15/2 transitions of Er^3＋ ions, have been observed for the Er^3＋-doped silicate glass excited by a 978 nm semiconductor laser beam. Excitation power dependent behaviour of the up-conversion emission intensity indicates that a two-photon absorption up-conversion process is responsible for the green and red up-conversion emissions. The temperature dependence of the green up-conversion emissions is also studied in a temperature range of 296-673 K, which shows that Er^3＋-doped silicate glass can be used as a sensor in high-temperature measurement.

文摘Tb^(3+),Dy^(3+)-co-doped Ca_(9)Tb_(x)Dy_(1-x)(PO_(4))_(5)(SiO_(4))F_(2) phosphors were prepared via high-temperature solidphase reaction method and the potential application in optical temperature measurements due to their color-tunable property was investigated in detail.The photoluminescence emission(PL) and photoluminescence excitation(PLE) spectra results show that the as-prepared phosphors exhibit both Tb^(3+) and Dy^(3+) emissions at 546 nm(^(5)D_(4)-^(7)F_(5) transition of Tb^(3+)) and 587 nm(^(4)F_(9/2)-^(6)H_(13/2) transition of Dy^(3+)) upon 376 nm excitation,respectively.In addition,the fluorescence decay analysis shows that the lifetime of the Tb3+emission rapidly decreases,which confirms the energy transfer existence between Dy^(3+) and Tb^(3+).Under 376 nm excitation,the temperature dependence of the fluorescence intensity ratios for the dualmission bands peaked at 546 and 587 nm was studied in the temperature range from 303 to 573 K.The results show that with the increase of Dy^(3+) concentration,the relative sensitivity first increases and then decreases,what’s more,the maximum relative sensitivity is 3.142×10^(-3)%/K for Ca_(9)Tb_(x)Dy_(1-x)(PO_(4))_(5)(SiO_(4))F_(2)(x=0.4).As a consequence,this preliminary study provides a novel method for exploring the novel thermo meters.
