Book Description
Luminescent Thermometers deals with all aspects of the subject from principles of methods to their applications in different areas. This book familiarizes the readers with the fundamentals of luminescence thermometry, materials used for the development of different luminescence thermometers, viz. metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) including lanthanide-doped MOFs referred as LOFs, quantum dots (QDs), rare earth-doped phosphors, and upconversion phosphors. Further, some advanced and next generation approaches for luminescent thermometers such as carbon-based materials, nanocomposites, double perovskites and garnet systems are assimilated. The applications of luminescent thermometers in temperature sensing of biological cells and tumors, thermal imaging of biological cells, flexible temperature sensors, health monitoring with wearable thermometers, and environmental monitoring are the key features of this volume. It is a valuable contribution to the literature for material scientists and engineers in academia and R&D as well as researchers working in biology and environment science.Key Features: Covers entire range of luminescent thermometers from fundamentals to applicationsDescribes state-of-the-art of materials and next generation approaches for luminescence-based nanothermometeryDiscusses the high-end utilities of luminescent thermometers in different aspects of human life are discussed
