Abstract
AbstractThe SC‐YAG:Tb@YAG:Pr‐SCF composite epitaxial structure consisting of a 1 mm thick single crystal substrate of YAG:Tb garnet and a thin (9 µm) single crystalline film of YAG:Pr garnet is fabricated, and its luminescent properties are examined toward luminescence thermometry. The possibility to efficiently excite, individually or simultaneously, the Tb3+ and Pr3+ dopants by their intense allowed 4f→5d transitions is executed to reach relative thermal sensitivity higher than 1% K−1 over the range of temperatures as wide as 100–625 K and above 0.5% K−1 over 13–650 K. The obtained results demonstrate that using intra‐ and inter‐configurational emission transitions of Pr3+ and other lanthanides makes it possible to design wide‐range luminescence thermometers with high sensitivity spanning the entire operating limits.
