In-plane thermal conductivities of small-scale samples are hard to measure, especially for the lowly conductive ones and those lacking in-plane symmetry (i.e., transversely anisotropic materials). State-of-the-art pump-probe techniques…
Measuring the temperature of a quantum system is an essential task in almost all aspects of quantum technologies. Theoretically, an optimal strategy for thermometry requires measuring energy which demands full accessibility over the entire…
A Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) is one of the most important scanning probe tools available to study and manipulate matter at the nanoscale. In a STM, a tip is scanned on top of a surface with a separation of a few \AA. Often, the…
Magnetic nanoparticles have proven to be valuable for biomedical applications. A prerequisite for the efficiency of these applications are precisely characterized particles. Thermal Noise Magnetrometry (TNM), unlike any other magnetic…
We demonstrate a cryogenic scanned probe microscope (SPM) that has been modified to be controlled with a haptic device, such that the operator can `feel' the surface of a sample under investigation. This system allows for direct tactile…
Calibration parameters in deterministic computer experiments are those attributes that cannot be measured or available in physical experiments. Kennedy and O'Hagan \cite{kennedy2001bayesian} suggested an approach to estimate them by using…
Calibration is commonly evaluated by comparing model confidence with its empirical correctness, implicitly treating reliability as a function of the confidence score alone. However, this view can hide substantial structure: models may be…
A first-principles approach called the {\it{self-consistent quasiharmonic approximation}} (SC-QHA) method is formulated to calculate the thermal expansion, thermomechanics, and thermodynamic functions of solids at finite temperatures with…
Thermodynamics relies on the possibility to describe systems composed of a large number of constituents in terms of few macroscopic variables. Its foundations are rooted into the paradigm of statistical mechanics, where thermal properties…
The key to accurate 3D shape measurement in Fringe Projection Profilometry (FPP) is the proper calibration of the measurement system. Current calibration techniques rely on phase-coordinate mapping (PCM) or back-projection stereo-vision…
We introduce an improved microwave calibration method for use in a cryogenic environment, based on a traditional three-standard calibration, the Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL) calibration. The modified calibration method takes advantage of…
Atomically thin films and surfaces exhibit many distinctive two-dimensional electronic properties that are absent in bulk crystals. In situ microscale multi-probe measurements have been utilized as an effective method to identify the…
A universal challenge facing the development of electrochemical materials is our lack of understanding of physical and chemical processes at local length scales in 10-100 nm regime, and acquiring this understanding requires a new generation…
The problem of an accurate tip radius and shape characterization is very important for determination of surface mechanical and chemical properties on the basis of the scanning probe microscopy measurements. We think that the most favorable…
Optically levitated nanoparticles offer enormous potential for precision sensing. However, as for any other metrology device, the absolute measurement performance of a levitated-particle sensor is limited by the accuracy of the calibration…
Line-intensity mapping (LIM) is an emerging cosmological technique that traces large-scale structure through the integrated spectral-line emission of unresolved sources. Reconstructing unbiased sky maps requires careful joint treatment of…
Thermometric techniques with high accuracy, fast response speed and ease of implementation are desirable for the study of dynamic combustion environments, transient reacting flows, and non-equilibrium plasmas. Herein, single-shot…
The development of sensitive large format imaging arrays for the infrared promises to provide revolutionary capabilities for space astronomy. For example, the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on SIRTF will use four 256 x 256 arrays to provide…
This paper presents a polarization calibration method applied to a microwave polarimeter demonstrator based on a near-infrared (NIR) frequency up-conversion stage that allows both optical correlation and signal detection at a wavelength of…
Heat transport in low-dimensional solids can significantly differ from their bulk counterpart due to various size-related effects. This offers rich heat transport phenomena to emerge. However, finding an appropriate thermometry method for…
