We studied the temperature-dependent luminescence of GdVO4 nanoparticles co-doped with Er3+ (1 mol %) and Yb3+ (20 mol %) and determined their thermal sensing properties through the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique. We also analyzed how a silica coating, in a core–shell structure, affects the temperature sensing properties of this material. (304 characters)
