Description
Thermometry in general has variety of applications in our daily lives and is well known concept - its uses range from calibration and maintenance of most intricate electronic devices to determining if weather outside is suitable for Your attire. Luminescent thermometry is technique that uses light to read out temperature, which means no direct contact is required between probe (luminescent material) and detector. It allows for use in conditions where most other sensing strategies fail such as inside living cells, in corrosive conditions and fast moving objects.
That being said, what can be considered especially exciting is introduction of luminescent thermometry to already functional materials such as catalysts, gas sensors or magnets. Combination of multiple useful properties may help with miniaturisation of devices, creation of more responsive systems and reduction of noise during measurement.
I would like to introduce base concepts of luminescent thermometry, show and explain examples of successful combinations with other properties and briefly communicate my own work in the field.
