Heat dissipation threatens the performance and lifetime of many electronic devices. As the
size of devices shrinks to the nanoscale, we require spatially and thermally resolved …

Thermal conductivity measurements using Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) usually
involve heat transfer across the mechanical contact and liquid meniscus between the …

With the rapid development of materials science, plenty of materials with micro-nano
structures are emerging in various fields due to their outstanding physical properties. In …

Independently controlling electronic and thermal transport in solids is a challenge, because
these properties are coupled. Here, we show that disordered nanoporosity in Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 …

Controlling nanoporosity to favorably alter multiple properties in layered crystalline inorganic
thin films is a challenge. Here, we demonstrate that the thermoelectric and mechanical …

Thermal transport properties of patterned binary self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au
(111) were examined using scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) with both contact and …

Local temperature measurement with high resolution and accuracy is a key challenge in
nowadays science and technologies at nanoscale. Quantitative characterization on …

Thermoresistive probes are increasingly popular in thermal conductivity characterization
using scanning thermal microscopy (SThM). A systematic analysis of the thermal …
