ABSTRACTA thermal microprobe has been designed and built for high resolution temperature sensing. The thermal sensor is a thin-film thermocouple junction at the tip of an Atomic Force Microprobe (AFM) silicon probe needle. Only wafer-stage processing steps are used for the fabrication. The thermal response over the range 25–s 4.5–rovolts per degree C and is linear.
Luminescence (nano)thermometry is an emerging and promising field for remote temperature sensing and thermal imaging of both the surface and interior of objects. While the field is dominated by trivalent...
The response rate of optical temperature sensing of upconversion nanoparticles is significantly improved by coupling with Ag@C@Ag nanoparticles which have excellent thermal conductivity.
