要旨

The pressure- and temperature-dependent luminescence properties of M′-phase Nd3+:YTaO4 synthesized by a molten salt method are presented. Ten near-infrared emission lines originating from the transitions between the two Stark levels R1,2 of the 3F3/2 state and the five Stark levels Z1,2,3,4,5 of the 4I9/2 state for the doped Nd3+ ions can be clearly identified. All these emission lines are found to shift linearly with pressure in a range up to ∼11 GPa. The R2,1 → Z5 emission lines have larger pressure sensitivities, which are 16.44 and 14.27 cm−1 GPa−1. The intensities of all the emission lines evolve with pressure non-monotonically, and peak at ∼1 GPa. The R1 → Z4,5 and R2 → Z1 emission lines can be obviously narrowed under the hydrostatic pressure, and broadened under the non-hydrostatic pressure, indicating their potential capability for reflecting the characteristic of a pressure environment. The intensity ratio of the R2,1 → Z5 emission lines exhibits a large temperature dependence, with a relative sensitivity between 0.129% and 0.108% K−1 in the physiological temperature range of 290–320 K. Thermal variations of the spectral positions and widths of the R2,1 → Z5 emission lines are also investigated. A high thermal stability for the position of the R2 → Z5 emission line is revealed. Based on the experimental results, the advantages and potential of Nd3+:YTaO4 as a multi-functional sensor for pressure and temperature are discussed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
