In this work, the potential of Li1.8Na0.2TiO3:Mn4+ for the lifetime-based luminescence thermometry is assessed. The material is prepared by the solid-state reaction of Li2CO3, Na2CO3, and nanostructured TiO2 at 800 degrees C, and its monoclinic structure (space group C2/c) is confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. In this host, Mn4+ provides strong absorption around 330 nm and 500 nm due to(4)A(2g) -> T-4(1g) and (4)A(2g) -> T-4(2g) electric dipole forbidden and spin-allowed electron transitions, respectively, and emits around 679 nm on account of E-2(g) -> (4)A(2g) spin forbidden electron transition. Temperature dependences of emission intensity and emission decay are measured over the 10-350 K range. Due to the low value of energy of (4)T2(g) level (20000 cm(-1)), the strong emission quenching starts at low-temperatures which favors the use of this material for the luminescence thermometry. It is demonstrated that the quite large value of relative sensitivity (2.27% K-1@ 330 K) facilitates temperature measurements with temperature resolution better than 0.15 K, and with the excellent repeatability.
