Quantifying the temperature of microdevices is critical for probing nanoscale energy transport.Such quantification is often accomplished by integrating resistance thermometers into microdevices. However, such thermometers frequently become…
This paper demonstrates the use of voltage noise thermometry, with a cross-correlation technique, as a dissipation-free method of thermometry inside a CMOS integrated circuit (IC). We show that this technique exhibits broad agreement with…
The paper describes a method for measuring the thermal diffusivity of materials having a high thermal conductivity. The apparatus is rather simple and low-cost, being therefore suitable in a laboratory for undergraduate students of…
We use infrared thermal imaging to remotely monitor the temperature of the leaves and plant which in turn is an indicative of their health and stress; in particular water stress. A series of experiments were conducted using Fluke TiX580…
This paper investigates numerical methods for simulations of the short-term behavior of a geothermal energy storage. Such simulations are needed for the optimal control and management of residential heating systems equipped with an…
Industrial processes release substantial quantities of waste heat, which can be harvested to generate electricity. At present, the conversion of low grade waste heat to electricity relies solely on thermoelectric materials, but such…
We report on a non-interacting technique for thermal characterization of fluids based on surface plasmon resonance interrogation. Using liquid volumes less than 20 micro liters we have determined the materials' thermo-optic coefficients…
Calorimetric measurements are experimentally realizable methods to assess thermodynamics relations in quantum devices. With this motivation in mind, we consider a resonant level coupled to a Fermion reservoir. We consider a transient…
Estimation of thermal contact resistances between cylinders can be achieved using heating on the cross sections by a laser spot and measurement of the temperature response by IR thermography. This type of measurement makes it possible to…
Context. Detailed characterizations of exoplanets are moving to the forefront of planetary science. Temperature is a key marker for understanding atmospheric physics and chemistry. Aims. We aim to retrieve temperatures of N2-O2 dominated…
Common thermal anemometers (hot-wire, hot-film, or similar) are based on the thermal equilibrium between the electrical power heating the sensor and the convection of the ambient medium cooling the sensor. The response times of such…
We discuss the application of techniques of quantum estimation theory and quantum metrology to thermometry. The ultimate limit to the precision at which the temperature of a system at thermal equilibrium can be determined is related to the…
This review presents an overview of the thermal properties of mesoscopic structures. The discussion is based on the concept of electron energy distribution, and, in particular, on controlling and probing it. The temperature of an electron…
A theoretical proposal that Coulomb-coupled quantum dots can be used as quantum probes to determine the temperature of a sample (i.e., an electronic reservoir) is proposed. Through the regulation of the positive or negative voltage bias in…
In this laboratory-based study, a plate was designed, manufactured and then characterised thermally and dimensionally using a thermal imager. This plate comprised a range of known scratch, dent, thinning and pitting artefacts as mimics of…
The rapidly developing quantum technologies and thermodynamics have put forward a requirement to precisely control and measure the temperature of microscopic matter at the quantum level. Many quantum thermometry schemes have been proposed.…
Several different methods are regularly used to infer the properties of the neutral interstellar medium (ISM) using atomic hydrogen (H I) 21cm absorption and emission spectra. In this work, we study various techniques used for inferring ISM…
Untangling the relationship between reactions, mass transfer, and temperature within lithium-ion batteries enables control approaches that mitigate thermal hot spots and slow degradation. Here, we develop an efficient physics-based…
Kinetic theory has long predicted that temperature inversion may happen in the vapor-phase for evaporation and condensation between two parallel plates, i.e., the vapor temperature at the condensation interface is higher than that at the…
We consider the question: Is it possible to measure two temperatures simultaneously using a single thermometer? Under common circumstances, where the thermometer can interact with only one bath at a time and the interaction leads to…
