Abstract

Dual-emitting manganese ion doped LaM1−xAl11−yO19(M = Mg, Zn) phosphors were prepared by substituting Zn2+/Mg2+with Mn2+and replacing Al3+with Mn4+. The LaM1−xAl11−yO19:xMn2+,yMn4+phosphors show a narrow green emission band of the Mn2+ions at 514 nm and a red emission band of the Mn4+ions at 677 nm. In addition, the thermal stability of luminescence shows that the response of Mn2+and Mn4+to the temperature is obviously different in LaMAl11O19, implying the potential of the prepared phosphors as optical thermometers. The decay lifetime of Mn4+was changed with temperature due to the different fluorescence intensity ratios of Mn2+and Mn4+, and a dual-mode optical temperature-sensing mechanism was studied in the temperature range of −50-200 °C. The maximum relative sensitivities (Sr) are calculated as 3.22 and 3.13% K−1, respectively. The unique optical thermometric features demonstrate the application potential of LaMAl11O19:Mn2+,Mn4+in optical thermometry.
