Pressure- and temperature-dependent luminescence from Tm3+ ions doped in GdYTaO4

Luminescent properties of Tm³⁺-doped GdYTaO₄ are studied for exploring their potential applications in temperature and pressure sensing.Two main emission peaks from ³H₄→³H₆ transition of Tm³⁺are investigated.Intensity ratio between the two peaks evolves exponentially with temperature and has a highest sensitivity of 0.014 K^?1 at 32 K.The energy difference between the two peaks increases linearly with pressure increasing at a rate of 0.38 meV/GPa.Intensity ratio between the two peaks and their emission lifetimes are also analyzed for discussing the pressure-induced variation of the sample structure.Moreover,Raman spectra recorded under high pressures indicate an isostructural phase transition of GdYTaO₄ occurring at 4.46 GPa.
