Novel temperature-sensitive luminescent materials, Ba
2 Gd2 Ge4 O13 doped with Bi3+ , Bi3+ /Sm3+ or Bi3+ /Eu3+ ions, have been prepared using a conventional solid-state reaction technique. The XRPD study has verified that all the synthesized germanates crystallize in the monoclinic system (space group C 2/ c , Z = 4). The crystal lattice of the compounds consists of zigzag chains of edge-sharing Me2 O7 (Me = Bi3+ , Eu3+ or Sm3+ ) dimers, [Ge4 O13 ] units, and ten-coordinated Ba atoms. Under UV excitation the powders exhibit the luminescence corresponding to the3 P1 →1 S0 (310-550 nm) transition in Bi3+ and4 G5/2 →6 HJ (550-730 nm) in Sm3+ or5 D0 →7 FJ (570-720 nm) transitions in Eu3+ ions. Heating of Ba2 Gd1.94 Bi0.01 Sm0.05 Ge4 O13 and Ba2 Gd1.89 Bi0.01 Eu0.1 Ge4 O13 phosphors leads to an irregular decrease in the intensity of the main emission lines. It has been found that the fluorescence intensity ratio between a wide band in the 310-530 nm region and peaks at longer wavelengths may be successfully used as a temperature-dependent characteristic. Absolute/relative sensitivity values for Ba2 Gd1.94 Bi0.01 Sm0.05 Ge4 O13 and Ba2 Gd1.89 Bi0.01 Eu0.1 Ge4 O13 germanates reach 0.19% K-1 /0.80% K-1 and 2.21% K-1 /0.58% K-1 , respectively. The above parameters indicate that Ba2 Gd2 Ge4 O13 :Bi3+ /Sm3+ or Bi3+ /Eu3+ samples can be used as potential luminescent materials for non-contact temperature measurement.- Published
