Abstract:
A novel apatite-based phosphor MgGd4Si3O13[Mg2Gd8(SiO4)6O2]:Ce3+, Mn2+ was designed and successfully synthesized by a solid-state reaction. Based on the different luminescence properties under 298 and 340 nm excitations, its potential application as a dual-excitation luminescent ratiometric thermometer was studied in detail. Under the excitations of 298 and 340 nm, the fluorescent intensity ratio of Ce3+ and Mn2+ is linearly correlated in the temperature range of 303-473 K. The sensitivity showed an opposite trend with the increase of temperature, and the maximum value was 0.95% K-1. These results indicated that MgGd4Si3O13: Ce3+, Mn2+ can be used as an ideal dual-excitation luminescent ratiometric thermometer.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
