Sina Hamian has published in Applied Physics Letters. The title of his publication is “Quantitative Probing of Tip-Induced Local Cooling with a Resistive Nanoheater/Thermometer”. Abstract: This article reports the investigation of tip-induced local cooling when an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever tip scans over a joule-heated Pt nanowire. We fabricated four-point-probe Pt resistive nanothermometers having […]
