What Role Do Nanoparticles Play in Fluorescence Thermometry?
In fluorescence thermometry, nanoparticles are often used as fluorescent markers. These nanoparticles are engineered to have temperature-sensitive fluorescence properties. For example, quantum dots and rare-earth-doped nanoparticles exhibit changes in their emission spectra with temperature. By monitoring these changes, researchers can map temperature distributions at the nanoscale with high precision.
