Multimodal Temperature Readout Boosts the Performance of CuInS2/ZnS Quantum Dot Nanothermometers.

Fluorescent nanothermometers are positioned to revolutionize research into cell functions and provide strategies for early diagnostics. Fluorescent nanostructures hold particular promise to fulfill this potential if nontoxic, stable varieties allowing for precise temperature measurement with high thermal sensitivities can be fabricated. In this work, we investigate the performance of micelle-encapsulated CuInS2/ZnS core/shell colloidal quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent nanothermometers. We demonstrate four temperature readout modes, which are based on variations in the photoluminescence intensity, energy, and lifetime and on a specific ratio of excitation efficiencies. We further leverage this multimodal readout to construct a fifth, multiparametric thermometer calibration based on the multiple linear regression (MLR) model. We show that the MLR approach boosts the thermometer sensitivity by up to 7-fold while reducing the readout error by about a factor of 3. As a result, our QDs offer the highest sensitivities among semiconducting QDs emitting in the first biological window. The obtained results indicate that CuInS2/ZnS QDs are excellent candidates for intracellular in vivo thermometry and provide guidelines for further optimization of their performance.

Distributed optical fiber sensors for real-time tracking of fouling buildup for tubular continuous polymerization reactors

Early online fouling detection is expected to be a real step forward in the operation of continuous tubular reactors. As an online technology, the Rayleigh backscatter based Distributed Optical Fiber Sensor (DOFS) technology was evaluated with respect to temperature measurement resolution, reproducibility and the best online calibration method. Different coatings and terminations were characterized for emulsion polymerization reactors. Commercially available sensors with acrylate primary coatings, dual acrylate coatings, and polyimide coatings were all compared with each other. It is shown that the presence of a secondary coating significantly alters sensor behaviour. Sensors with only a primary coating showed a temperature resolution of 0.1 °C. Online calibration for temperature readout was carried out and validation tested on segments of fiber integrated in a 3D-printed reactor channel (diameter 1.5 mm). Acrylate coated sensors showed a deviation of 20 % for the calibration coefficients when inside the reactor channel compared to the online calibration, leading to errors in temperature measurement. Polyimide coated sensors showed a deviation of just 0.6 % in this validation test, demonstrating good capabilities for online calibration with accurate temperature measurements. The possibility of spatial and temporal monitoring of fouling buildup through a heat exchanging wall equipped with DOFS was evaluated.

Fiber temperature sensor based on dual-wavelength emitting Mg0.388Al2.408O4: Mn2+/Mn4+ phosphors for real-time temperature monitoring

Single doped Mg0.388Al2O3.408O4 phosphor was prepared and multivalent Mn ion (Mn2+ and Mn4+) emission was achieved in a single host. The structure, morphology, and luminescence characteristics of Mn ions in Mg0.388Al2O3.408O4 were discussed in detail, especially the temperature dependent emission characteristics of Mn ions. Based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of Mn2+versus Mn4+ and the decay lifetime of Mn4+ emission as the temperature readout, a dual-mode optical temperature-sensing mechanism was proposed and studied in the temperature range of 293–473 K. The maximum relative sensitivities (Sr) are derived as 2.83 % K−1 (at 373 K based on FIR) and 3.40 % K−1 (at 473 K based on decay lifetime), respectively. The temperature sensing characteristics of Mg0.388Al2.408O4: Mn2+/Mn4+ powders in a full fiber system were studied, which can provide thermal-sensitive emissions at dual-wavelengths for stable ratiometric temperature sensing with good precision and repeatability. The constructed all fiber temperature sensing system has been applied in the on-line monitoring of CPU temperature.

Effect of optical stimulation temperature on the TA-OSL background and signal

The impact of readout temperature on background during optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) measurement is reported in this study. The background signal on un-irradiated phosphors has been found to increase significantly with readout temperature for the samples studied in this work, Al2O3:C and CaSO4:Dy. This increase in background signal with rising stimulation temperature on un-irradiated phosphors may overlap with the thermally assisted OSL (TA-OSL) signal. This phenomenon was observed only in the case of phosphors and not with bare stainless steel (SS) discs/planchets, and hence, this background emission should not be confused with blackbody radiation. Moreover, the reported background emission was seen to be much larger than the blackbody radiation. Although the TA-OSL signal does increase with temperature, it does not increase proportionally to the background signal. Therefore, to determine the net increase in TA-OSL due to the rise in readout temperature, the increase in background signal should be taken into consideration.

Sensitivity and heat penalty in all-optical quantum thermometry with Germanium-vacancy color centers in diamond

All-optical thermometry based on laser-driven photoluminescence (PL) of germanium–vacancy (GeV−) centers in diamond is quantified in terms of a trade-off between temperature sensitivity and laser-induced heating. We show that the noise-floor sensitivity ηT of the temperature readout from the GeV− PL return scales as (pΔt)−1/2 with the laser power p and detection time Δt, allowing the temperature uncertainty to be reduced by increasing p and Δt. This noise-floor reduction is, however, never penalty-free. Specifically, higher laser powers translate into higher temperatures of the diamond crystal. We demonstrate that the noise-floor as low as ηT = 37.5 mK/Hz can be achieved with the laser power set at p = 6.30 mW. We also show that a further reduction of ηT is possible at higher p. The experimental setting implemented in this study helps keep the level of heat released in a diamond crystal well below the typical level of microwave-induced heating in nitrogen-vacancy center-based thermometry, thus offering an advantageous approach for diamond-based thermometry in biological systems.

Aluminium-copper-mesoporous silica molecular sieve-enabled dual-signal point-of-care aptasensor with integrated temperature and multicolor readout

Dual-signal point-of-care testing (POCT) method relying on multicolor changes have demonstrated a promising improvement in performance. In this work, we have developed a highly sensitive and rapid POCT method for detecting aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), utilizing a dual-signal readout mode based on temperature and multicolor changes. A synthetic enzyme mimics, Al-Cu-Santa Barbara Amorphous material (Al-Cu-SBA), has been used to enable the dual-signal changes of gold nanobipyramids (Au NBPs) for the first time. Specifically, the aptamer was immobilized on magnetic beads, facilitating hybridization with complementary strands functionalized with Al-Cu-SBA and hence forming double-stranded DNA. Upon introducing AFB1 into the system, it bound to the aptamer chain, resulting in the release of Al-Cu-SBA into solution. The liberated Al-Cu-SBA was subsequently collected and used to oxidize 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The oxidized TMB was used to etch Au NBPs, inducing significant color changes. Meanwhile, by leveraging the photothermal properties of Au NBPs, we observed a temperature difference generated upon exposure to infrared laser irradiation. This method exhibited a linear range from 0.5 μg·mL−1 to 100 μg·mL−1, with a detection limit of 0.167 μg·mL−1. The method’s applicability was extended to successfully detect AFB1 in both peanut oil and milk samples. Given the application of enzyme mimics and the dual-signal readout integrating temperature and multicolor changes, our study successfully overcomes the limitations inherent in traditional biological enzyme-based methods and the conventional single-signal readout approach. Additionally, it surpasses the limitations associated with dual-signal readout systems that rely solely on monochromatic colorimetric analysis.

Fuzzy logic based thermal image processing for temperature monitoring of rotating cylindrical surfaces

When a non-contact and remote temperature measurement is of importance, several environmental factors must be considered. Of these, two are of crucial importance — the surface emissivity of the observed object and the directional emissivity in the object–sensor relationship. This paper proposes FDEM — a Fuzzy Directional Emissivity Model built with the assumption that the observed surface is cylindrically shaped. The model consists of two submodels — for vertical and horizontal directions separately. The main contribution of this paper is the formalization of a linguistic description of measurement conditions typical for an industrial environment. Additionally, dual linguistic fuzzy modifiers were used to increase the accuracy of the modeled emissivity. Finally, the proposed model achieved up to 40% reduction of RMSE error when used for correcting the temperature measurements of a rotating cylinder. Overall, our model provides a novel and reliable way for temperature readout correction on the entire surface of a drying roller, such as ones used in the papermaking industry. Furthermore, the proposed approach is not only inherently capable of compensating for the position of the camera, but also does it in an interpretable, and hence expert-verifiable, manner.

Investigation on thermally assisted optically stimulated luminescence signal in natural CaF2

In this work, thermally assisted OSL (TA-OSL) of natural fluorite was investigated, aiming to understand better the role of traps in both TL and OSL. TA-OSL is the luminescence simultaneously stimulated by light and heat; from this combination it is possible to access deeper traps in the analyzed material, that, in general, need more energy to be accessed. Irradiations were performed at room temperature using the Sr-90/Y-90 source incorporated in the TL/OSL reader at a dose rate of about 10 mGy/s. The optical stimulus was blue light at 470 nm. The dosimeters were also irradiated with X and gamma-rays of various energies (from 20 keV to 1.25 MeV) for comparing the energy dependence of the OSL and the TA-OSL signals. Residual TL curves were acquired after OSL readouts for checking trap participation in OSL emission. The OSL measurements were done at temperatures from 25 °C to 400 °C. For readout temperatures from 25 to ∼185 °C, decay curves were observed, and they were modeled by one stretched-exponential function, giving rise to a good fit to the experimental data. The dependence of the fitting parameter (β) on the photon energy was studied, and it was observed that β increases with the X-ray beam effective energy. The energy dependence of OSL signal is 1.5 times larger than that of TA-OSL signal, pointing to the reduction in energy dependence with the combination of thermal and optical stimuli. The total light emitted (TA-OSL + residual TL) is highly increased by the simultaneous stimulation by light and heat, indicating that light promotes charges to thermally active traps (phototransfer), and heat promotes charges to optically active traps, facilitating their release during illumination.

IRSL properties of HfO2 obtained by the precipitation method and its correlation to ESR centres

Infrared-stimulated luminescence (IRSL) emission and its characterisation are reported for the first time for HfO2 synthesised by the precipitation method and its electron spin resonance (ESR) centres properties are shown in this study. IRSL spectrum has a broad emission band in the blue region, which is centred at about 2.49 eV. A similar emission was observed for the radiofluorescence (RF) with a band centred at 2.52 eV. RF signal intensity decreases with the readout temperature, which might indicate a thermal quenching process.IRSL signal is strongly affected by the readout temperature, as part of its emission is related to the presence of shallow traps (<100 °C). The IRSL shine-down curve is composed of two components with decay times of 15.7 and 800 s, and photoionisation cross-section values of about 1.20 × 10−19 and 2.35 × 10−21 cm2, respectively, based on IRSL carried out at 100 °C after 2 Gy of beta irradiation dose, using a general-order kinetic model. Dosimetric analyses indicated that there is a reproducible signal in IRSL, with a coefficient of variation lower than 9 % for repeatability and 3 % for reproducibility measurements. The dose-response curve has a linear trend in the dose range of 0.3–2.0 Gy. Regarding the photon energy study, it shows an overresponse for photo energy values below 200 keV. Fading of about 40 % after one day of storage was observed.Bleaching measurements indicated that the TL peaks located between 100 and 250 °C share the same trap levels as the IRSL ones. In addition, a possible charge transference is observed from the peak at 330 °C to lower temperature peaks. ESR analyses identified that oxygen vacancies of V+ type in a four-coordinated arrangement are induced by irradiation and are temperature-sensitive. Based on the bleaching and ESR measurements, it is reasonable to infer that V+ type vacancies are likely responsible for the IRSL, and its blue emission.

POLARBEAR-2b (PB-2b) is the second receiver in the Simons Array, a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiment.

The polarization of these detectors is modulated by a cryogenic continuously rotating half-wave plate. PB-2b was installed on its telescope in 2022 in the Atacama Desert at an altitude of 5.2 km. This paper will detail initial readout commissioning, test of a new loopgain monitoring method, and focusing the optics. Work is ongoing to commission the remaining ambient temperature readout electronics, measure detector time constants, and observe with the cryogenic half-wave plate spinning

Pt/Zn-TCPP Nanozyme-Based Flexible Immunoassay for Dual-Mode Pressure-Temperature Monitoring of Low-Abundance Proteins.

Pressure and temperature, as common physical parameters, are important for monitoring human health. In contrast, single-mode monitoring is prone to causing experimental errors. Herein, we innovatively designed a dual-mode flexible sensing platform based on a platinum/zinc-meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (Pt/Zn-TCPP) nanozyme for the quantitative monitoring of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in biological fluids with pressure and temperature readouts. The Pt/Zn-TCPP nanozyme with catalytic and photothermal efficiencies was synthesized by means of integrating photosensitizers into porous materials. The flexible sensing system after the antigen-antibody reaction recognized the pressure using a flexible skin-like pressure sensor with a digital multimeter readout, whereas the temperature was acquired via the photoheat conversion system of the Pt/Zn-TCPP nanozyme under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation using a portable NIR imaging camera on a smartphone. Meanwhile, the dual-mode flexible sensing system was carried out on a homemade three-dimensional (3D)-printed device. Results revealed that the developed dual-mode immunosensing platform could exhibit good pressure and temperature responses within the dynamic range of 0.5-100 ng mL-1 CEA with the detection limits of 0.24 and 0.13 ng mL-1, respectively. In addition, the pressure and temperature were sensed simultaneously without crosstalk interference. Importantly, the dual-mode flexible immunosensing system can effectively avoid false alarms during the measurement, thus providing great potential for simple and low-cost development for point-of-care testing.

A dual-mode portable platform with spatiotemporal temperature–pressure signal readouts for ultrasensitive quantitative determination of cancer cells

Early precise diagnosis of cancer is a prerequisite for cancer-related mortality and improved therapeutic outcomes. Direct quantitative cancer cell detection technologies show a great potential for early screening and diagnosis of cancer. However, the reported techniques generally involve exorbitant costs, lengthy procedures, and inevitable use of large-scale apparatus. We develop herein a spatiotemporal dual-mode sensing platform based on temperature and pressure signals for rapid, sensitive, and straightforward quantitative detection of cancer cells. Specifically, this platform is constructed by a dual-signal response probe consisting of hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified hollow copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS@HA NPs), which not only elicits a robust and spatiotemporal photothermal effect via localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) but also promotes a rapid photothermal decomposition of NH4HCO3. This dual-signal response probe demonstrates a broad detection range from 10 to 105 cells/mL for sensing triple-negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) due to the specific recognition between HA and CD44 receptors. Notably, the remarkable sensitivities, with detection limits of 9 and 4 cells/mL for temperature and pressure signal readouts respectively, display about one order of magnitude lower than conventional immunoassay methods. The practicability and high reliability of the proposed strategy are further validated via analyzing clinic serum samples. Moreover, the localized photothermal therapy induced by the specific binding of CuS@HA NPs can realize targeted elimination of cancer cells. Overall, the developed dual-mode sensing platform demonstrates significant potential as a facile yet robust strategy for real-time and on-site determination of cancer cells in actual samples.

A Highly Integrated Lab-on-a-CMOS Platform for Real-Time Monitoring of E. Coli Growth Kinetics.

Existing miniaturized and cost-effective solutions for bacterial growth monitoring usually require offline incubators with constant temperature to culture the bio-samples prior to measurement. Such a separated sample preparation and detection scheme requires extensive human intervention, risks contamination, and suffers from poor temporal resolution. To achieve integrated sample preparation and real-time bacterial growth monitoring, this article presents a lab-on-a-CMOS platform incorporates an optical sensor array, temperature sensor array, micro-heaters, and readout circuits. Escherichia coli's (E. coli) optimum growth temperature of 37 °C is achieved through a heat regulation system consisting of two micro-heaters and an on-chip temperature sensor array. A photodiode array with an in-pixel capacitive trans-impedance amplifier to reduce inter-pixel cross-coupling is designed to extract the optical information during bacterial growth. To balance the footprint, power consumption, and quantization speed, a 10 b column successive-approximation register (SAR)/single-slope (SS) dual-mode analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is designed to digitize the temperature and optical signals. Fabricated in a standard 0.18 um CMOS process, the proposed platform can regulate the sample temperature to 37 +/- 0.2/0.3 °C within 32 mins. Enabled by an on-chip heat regulation system and photodetectors, the prototype demonstrates a real-time monitoring of bacterial growth kinetics and antibiotic responses. Minute-level temporal resolution is achieved as this proposed platform is free of extensive and time-consuming human intervention. The proposed platform can be viably used in contamination sensitive applications such as antibiotic tests, stem cell cultures, and organ-on-chips.

Room temperature coherence properties and 14N nuclear spin readout of NV centers in 4H–SiC

We have investigated the room temperature spin coherence properties of the axial NVkk center in 4H–SiC by pulsed high-frequency electron spin resonance and electron-nuclear double resonance techniques. Our results show a remarkable phase coherence time (TCoherence) of 25.3 μs at room temperature for ensembles of NV centers. We demonstrate precise control over NV defect spins through Rabi oscillations, which exhibit a linear response to microwave power. Additionally, the demonstrated room temperature readout of the intrinsic 14N nuclear spin (I = 1) underscores its potential as a robust nuclear spin memory resource, further positioning NV defects in 4H–SiC as an advanced platform for implementing cutting-edge quantum technologies in semiconductor systems.

QEchemMEMS – A working electrode with high-resolution temperature sensing for studying electrochemical heat management systems

Electrochemical heat pumps are a new and interesting concept for efficient thermal energy management at the micro- and macro-scale. The development of new solutions for electrochemical heat pumps requires reliable and high-resolution measurements of the temperature changes resulting from redox reactions. A device for measuring such temperature variations, manufactured using microelectromechanical system technology, is presented and characterized in this study. The device contains a platinum working electrode suspended on a thin SixNy membrane for the electrochemical cell; this electrode also serves as a resistive thermal device (RTD). The device and temperature readout electronic implementations of the Anderson loop are characterized. The temperature coefficient of resistance is 2736 ppm/K. The theoretical noise performance is predicted and verified in practice. The voltage noise of the RTD is 28 nV, which results in a temperature measurement resolution of 1.3 mK despite a very small RTD bias current of 40 µA.

Luminescence intensity ratio by three thermalized levels in YAG:Er3+/Yb3+ nanoparticles

Luminescence thermometry is a remote temperature sensing method by observing temperature dependent spectral changes for temperature readout. Chase for increasing temperature readout sensitivity motivated research of employing 3rd thermalized level of Er3+ emission in Yb3+/Er3+ upconversion photoluminescence. For this purpose, highly stable and efficient yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG): Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles were prepared by a modified Pechini method. The emission spectra were recorded from 300 to 800 K, and two luminescence intensity ratios between emissions of 4S3/2, 2H11/2, and 4F7/2 were obtained. Apart from excellent matching theoretical predictions, the readout by using the 4F7/2 method provided a 3.5-fold increased relative sensitivity over the luminescence intensity ratio by 2H11/2 level, which is limited by being usable only above 600 K. The method by emission from 2H11/2 is to be used from 300 to 600 K, while emission from 4F7/2 provides the best luminescence intensity ratio at temperatures from 600 K to 800 K. YAG:Yb3+/Er3+ nano-particles proved to be an excellent sensor material for the luminescence intensity ratio method by employing multiple thermalized levels.

Time-gated multi-dimensional luminescence thermometry via carbon dots for precise temperature mobile sensing.

Luminescence thermometry presents precise remote temperature measurement capabilities but faces significant challenges in real-world applications, primarily stemming from the calibration's susceptibility to environmental factors. External factors can compromise accuracy, necessitating resilient measurement protocols to ensure dependable temperature (T) readings across various settings. We explore a novel three-dimensional (3D) approach based on time-gated (t) luminescence thermometric parameters, Δ(T,t), employing physical mixtures of surface-engineered carbon dots (CDs) based on dibenzoylmethane and rhodamine B. These CDs showcase enduring, temperature-responsive, and customizable phosphorescence, easily activated by low-power LEDs and distinguished by their prolonged emission time due to thermally activated delayed phosphorescence. Quantifying the thermal emission dependency is achievable through conventional spectrometer analyses or by capturing photographs with a smartphone's camera under flashlight illumination, yielding up to 30 time-gated ratiometric thermometric parameters per sample. Notably, within the temperature range of 23-45 °C, the maximum relative sensitivity of 7.9% °C-1 surpasses current state-of-the-art CD-based thermometers and ensures temperature readout with low-resolution portable devices as non-modified smartphones.

A novel ultrahigh-sensitive optical thermometer based on inverse thermal responses of Nd3+ and Yb3+ emissions in BaGd2(MoO4)4 phosphor

Nowadays, lots of efforts have been vested on the exploitation of novel luminescent thermometric materials to achieve remote temperature readout with ultra-high sensitivity and sub-degree resolution. Herein, the BaGd2(MoO4)4: Yb3+, Nd3+ phosphors were successfully prepared via a solid-state reaction method, and their concentration/temperature-dependent luminescence behaviors were investigated systematically. Upon 980 nm excitation, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra consisted of three emission bands centered at 754 nm, 805 nm and 872 nm from Nd3+, together with an emission band peaked at 1008 nm from Yb3+. As the temperature elevated, the Yb3+: 2F5/2 → 2F7/2 emission weakened sharply, whereas the promoted phonon-assisted energy transfer process from Yb3+ to Nd3+ and excited-state absorption process of Nd3+ led to an intense thermal enhancement of the Nd3+: 4Fj → 4I9/2 (j = 7/2, 5/2, 3/2) transitions. Moreover, the thermally enhancing factor was found to depend on the Nd3+ concentration. By utilizing the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technique, the temperature sensing behaviors based on thermally coupled levels (Nd3+: 4Fj, j = 7/2, 5/2, 3/2) and non-thermally coupled levels (Nd3+: 4Fj and Yb3+: 2F5/2) were studied at the different doping concentrations. When the temperature sensing was based on LIR between Nd3+: 4F3/2 → 2I9/2 and Yb3+: 2F5/2 → 2F7/2 transitions, the BaGd2(MoO4)4: 3 mol%Nd3+, 15 mol%Yb3+ sample displayed excellent thermal sensitivity (2.28–8.42 %K−1) and temperature resolution (0.1–0.22 K) at temperatures ranging from 298 K to 573 K, which were superior to those of many other reported luminescence materials. The present work might give a new input for developing near-infrared (NIR) luminescence materials with desirable temperature sensing performances.

In addition, we engage in a discussion regarding the benefits and limitations of nanoparticles in comparison with conventional, microsized probes for their application in luminescent thermometry.

High Temperature Inertial Navigation Sensors, Electronics and Packaging for reliable 300°C Operation

Conventional oil and gas drilling measurement while drilling (MWD) systems are typically designed to operate at temperatures &lt;200°C. To increase the efficiency of drilling unconventional geothermal wells, downhole MWD tools are needed that can operate in the unique thermal challenges encountered in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). GE demonstrated a 300°C downhole navigation system. The system utilizes GE’s internally developed state-of-the-art MEMS multiple ring Gyroscope (MRG), and a high temperature gyroscope control and readout application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The MRG, ASIC and associated high temperature, high reliability packaging were integrated to demonstrate the performance and functionality of the gyroscope across the temperature range from room temperature to 300°C. Specialized long-term capable high temperature test platforms were developed to enable the characterization and testing of the gyroscope system and utilized to validate application-relevant lifetime capability.
