Reply to “comment on ‘A strategy for enhancing the sensitivity of optical thermometers in β-NaLuF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanocrystals’” by L. Marciniak, A. Bednarkiewicz, D. Hreniak and W. Strek, J. Mater. Chem. C
Abstract
In response to the comment by L. Marciniak et al. (J. Mater. Chem. C), we maintain the determination of sensor sensitivity by using the equation of because all the levels of RE3+ ions can be thermally coupled according to Boltzmann distribution.
