What are the Challenges in Temperature Measurement at the Nanoscale?
Measuring temperature at the nanoscale presents unique challenges:
Spatial Resolution: Traditional thermometers lack the spatial resolution required to measure temperature at the nanoscale. Thermal Disturbance: Inserting a probe to measure temperature can disturb the thermal equilibrium of the nanosystem. Calibration: Calibrating temperature sensors at the nanoscale can be difficult due to the lack of standard references. Environmental Factors: Nanoscale temperature measurements can be affected by environmental factors such as electromagnetic fields and ambient temperature fluctuations.
