What are the Challenges in Measuring Temperature at the Nanoscale?
Measuring temperature at the nanoscale is challenging due to the small size of the materials involved. Traditional thermometers are too large to provide accurate readings at this scale. Advanced techniques such as scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) and Raman spectroscopy are often used to measure temperature at the nanoscale. These methods allow for high-resolution thermal mapping, which is crucial for understanding the behavior of nanomaterials under different temperature conditions.
