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 …

Probing material properties at surfaces down to the single-particle scale of atoms and
molecules has been achieved, but high-resolution subsurface imaging remains a …

As the size of materials, particles, and devices shrinks to nanometer, atomic, or even
quantum scale, it is more challenging to characterize their thermal properties reliably …

Fundamental research and continued miniaturization of materials, components and systems
have raised the need for the development of thermal‐investigation methods enabling ultra …

Many of the renewable and sustainable energy technologies employ novel nanomaterials.
For instance, thermal storage and thermoelectric conversion are in constant progress due to …

For more than 30 years, scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) has been used for thermal
imaging and quantitative thermal measurements. It has proven its usefulness for …

Atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers with integrated heaters enable nanometer-scale
heat flow measurements, materials characterization, nanomanufacturing, and many other …

Thermal characterization becomes challenging as the material size is reduced to
micro/nanoscales. Based on scanning probe microscopy (SPM), scanning thermal …

This work discusses measurement of thermal conductivity (k) of films using a scanning hot
