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 …

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 …

This article investigates heat transfer at nanoscale contacts through scanning thermal
microscopy (SThM) under vacuum conditions. Measurements were performed using two …

The micro/nano probe tip of a scanning probe microscope irradiated by a laser to induce
near‐field tip enhancement (NFTE) is a state‐of‐the‐art technique of nanoscience that has …

The nanofabrication technique using nanosecond pulsed laser irradiated probes still faces
challenges in achieving controllable processing of nanostructure morphology and feature …

The goal of this work is to establish the heat flux sharing among different heat exchange
channels in scanning thermal microscopy (SThM), basing on experimental data. To this end …

Two techniques to characterize the thermal properties of materials and to analyze the heat
transfer at the micro/nanoscales have been studied and are presented in this manuscript …

The purpose of this work is to investigate the influence of a temperature difference through a
probe-sample contact on thermal contrast in Scanning Thermal Microscopy imaging. A …

While the lateral spatial resolution of far-field optical techniques is limited by diffraction at a
few hundreds of nanometres, Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) allows real nanoscale …
