“…However, its limitations were also apparent. The spatial resolution was far from nanoscale and the fabrication process was difficult to adapt for batch fabrication, with significant variations between each probe, making probe characterization a necessary step before SThM experiments . Therefore, the paths for improving the spatial resolution and the ease of fabrication of resistive thermal probes inspired from Wollaston wire probe went two ways.…”

“…One major issue for thermoelectric and thermoresistive probes is that if the sample material is electrically conductive, probes may change the state of the sample when operating in contact mode . Also it is hard for these types of probes to be used in liquid environment because strong electrical conductivity of liquid leads to distorted probe signals . Thermal expansion based bilayer probes and fluorescent probes could solve these problems.…”

As the size of materials, particles, and devices shrinks to nanometer, atomic, or even quantum scale, it is more challenging to characterize their thermal properties reliably. Scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) is an emerging method to obtain local thermal information by controlling and monitoring probe-sample thermal exchange processes. In this review, key experimental and theoretical components of the SThM system are discussed, including thermal probes and experimental methods, heat transfer mechanisms, calibration strategies, thermal exchange resistance, and effective heat transfer coefficients. Additionally, recent applications of SThM to novel materials and devices are reviewed, with emphasis on thermoelectric, biological, phase change, and 2D materials.

“…are available [8,9]. Among them, SThM is the technique used to measure the local heat transfer between the surface of the sample and the sharp probe [10]. Such local heat transfer measurement methods in SThM include the use of thermo-voltage, thermal expansion, and electrical resistance measurements.…”

In this paper, we report that the beam profile of the near-infrared light from superluminescent diodes (SLDs) can be measured with a resolution below the diffraction limit by using the photothermal effect and scanning thermal microscopy (SThM). Due to the sub-diffraction resolution of SThM, the beam profile measured using SThM was much clearer than the beam profile obtained by using the knife-edge method. By stacking cross-sectional images of the optical beam profile obtained by using SThM, we were able to obtain successively the three-dimensional optical beam profile. Our novel method of using small probes to measure optical beam profiles is compatible with conventional microscopy systems and can potentially be used in various applications.

Organic and hybrid thermoelectric (OHT) materials have attracted increasing research interest over the past decade. Thermal conductivity measurement plays a critical role in evaluating and improving the thermoelectric performance of various types of these novel materials, ranging from bulks to low‐dimensional structures. Commonly used and newly developed techniques for thermal conductivity measurement, most of which have been applied to OHT materials in recent years, are reviewed. They are categorized as steady‐state methods, time‐domain methods, or frequency‐domain methods. The operating principles, merits and limitations, technical issues, and application examples for each technique are also discussed.
