The measurement of high temperatures in oxides and oxide-based structures in practical
applications often presents challenges including steep thermal gradients, the presence of …

What follows is a brief summary of the history of phosphor thermometry since the first patent
submission in 1932 up to the present. There has been an explosion of research and …

The temperature-dependent luminescence of Eu: Ca2Gd8Si6O26 and its decay pathways
are investigated in order to assess the utility of the material as a thermometric phosphor …

The additive manufacturing (AM) of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) microarchitectures with
sub-micrometer precision via two-photon lithography (TPL), utilizing custom photoresin …

This paper presents the experimental investigations of steam flow with condensation in the
blading system of the low-pressure (LP) part of a 360 MW turbine. To this end, special …

In this study, the effect of oxygen partial pressure on phosphorescence was investigated for
different lanthanide ion-doped (Ln= Eu, Dy, Sm, Er) yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). Samples …

Thermal barrier coatings are used to reduce the actual working temperature of the high
pressure turbine blade metal surface and; hence permit the engine to operate at higher …

While there are innumerable devices that measure temperature, the nonvolatile
measurement of thermal history is far more difficult, particularly for sensors embedded in …

Here we report on the first ultrabright fluorescent nanothermometers,∼ 50 nm-size particles,
capable of measuring temperature in 3D and down to the nanoscale. The temperature is …

Temperature profiling of components in gas turbines is of increasing importance as
engineers drive to increase firing temperatures and optimize component's cooling …
