Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed scanning Seebeck microscopy (SMM) based on the local heating of a cantilever tip. The SMM is capable of local mapping of the thermoelectric properties of the sample. In this project, we focused on the evaluation of the thermoelectric properties of the organic thin films to investigate the relationship between the morphology and thermoelectric properties. We confirmed that the area under the cantilever tip can be locally heated either by irradiating the cantilever with a focused blue-violet laser beam or the resistive heating of the cantilever by direct current flow to the cantilever. We evaluated the local surface potential of the organic thin films during local heating of the cantilever to investigate the local thermoelectric properties.
