A scientific team led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has found a new way to take the local temperature of a material from an area about a billionth of a meter wide.


This discovery, published in Physical Review Letters ("Temperature Measurement by a Nanoscale Electron Probe Using Energy Gain and Loss Spectroscopy"), promises to improve the understanding of useful yet unusual physical and chemical behaviors that arise in materials and structures at the nanoscale.

 

The ability to take nanoscale temperatures could help advance microelectronic devices, semiconducting materials and other technologies, whose development depends on mapping the atomic-scale vibrations due to heat.
