A novel approach for fluorescent thermometry and thermal imaging purposes using spin crossover nanoparticles†
Abstract
Temperature plays a fundamental role in all fields of science; hence the development of methods for measuring this property remains in vogue. Within this vast field, fluorescent thermometry appears as a simple, noninvasive and cost-effective method for providing good spatial, temporal and thermal resolution in both solid and liquid phases, even in distant or inaccessible environments. Here we describe the properties of a two-component fluorescent thermometry system comprised of
