Luminescence (nano) thermometry is a remote sensing technique that relies on the
temperature dependency of the luminescence features (eg, bandshape, peak energy or …

Over the last decade impressive progress has been made in the theoretical understanding
of transport properties of clean, one-dimensional quantum lattice systems. Many physically …

Luminescent ratiometric thermometers combining high spatial and temporal resolution at the
micro-and nanoscale, where the conventional methods are ineffective, have emerged over …

We summarize important recent advances in quantum metrology, in connection to
experiments in cold gases, trapped cold atoms and photons. First we review simple …

Temperature is a basic parameter influencing the behavior of systems in physics, chemistry
and biology. From living cells to microcircuits, a wide range of cases require thermometry …

Non-invasive precise thermometers working at the nanoscale with high spatial resolution,
where the conventional methods are ineffective, have emerged over the last couple of years …

The relationship between thermodynamics and statistical physics is valid in the
thermodynamic limit—when the number of particles becomes very large. Here we study …

Gold is known as a shiny, yellow noble metal that does not tarnish, has a face centred cubic
structure, is non-magnetic and melts at 1336 K. However, a small sample of the same gold is …

Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems now allow for a better
understanding of one of the most basic issues in science and technology: the flow of heat at …

Over the years enormous effort was invested in proving ergodicity, but for a number of
reasons, con? dence in the fruitfulness of this approach has waned.—Y. Ben-Menahem and …
