Outline of Final Research Achievements

By using nano platinum hot film sensor, which has been studied by our group, versatile systems for measuring nanoscale thermal issues were proposed and tested. A novel scanning thermal microscope was developed using carbon nanotube, which is of temperature resolution of 0.5K and spatial resolution of 50nm. Thermal conductance of An individual carbon nanotube was measured after each local irradiation of focused ion beam, which enables us to explore the heat transfer mechanism in nanomaterials. Supported platinum film was also used to measure both surface temperature and thermal boundary resistance between Si and SiO2 successfully.
