Scanning Thermal Microscopy

Scanning Thermal Microscopy

Scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that maps the local temperature and thermal conductivity of an interface. The probe in a scanning thermal microscope is sensitive to local temperatures - providing a nanoscale thermometer. Thermal measurements at the nanometer scale are of both scientific and industrial interest.
