Leaflet Thermometry at the Nanoscale

Thermometry at the Nanoscale:
Techniques and Selected Applications
Series: RSC Nanoscience & Nanotechnology
Editor(s): Luís Carlos, Fernando Palacio
Synopsis
Recent advances in technologies have created a need for sensing
and measuring temperature at the nanoscale. This challenge
requires new approaches and new techniques, since conventional
thermometry is not valid at this scale. Thermometry at the
Nanoscale covers the fundamentals of the subject, followed by
individual chapters on luminescence-based and non-luminescence
based thermometry techniques, and finally specific chapters on
different applications of nanothermometry. The fundamental
topics covered include a review of temperature measurement, the
meaning of temperature on the nanoscale and heat propagation at
the nanoscale. Luminescence-based techniques covered include
quantum dots thermometry; lanthanide phosphors thermometry;
organic dyes thermometry; polymer-based thermometry and
organic-inorganic hybrids thermometry. Non-luminescence based thermometry techniques include
scanning thermal microscopy; near-field thermometry and nanotubes thermometry. The range of
applications of nanothermometry discussed includes thermometry inside a cell; microelectronics and
micro/nanonofluidics. This is the first book to cover the whole subject of thermometry at the nanoscale
with specialists in each particular technique discussing in detail the recent achievements and limitations
as well as future trends and technological possibilities. The book will appeal to researchers from materials
science, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry and biological sciences working on the development of
new materials, materials characterisation/analysis and their applications.
