A New Sensor Concept for Scanning Thermal Microscopy — •Marvin Glittenberg, Philipp Wiesener, and Achim Kittel — Institut für Physik, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg

Near-field mediated heat transfer (NFMHT) between two surfaces separated by a vacuum gap has become a widely investigated topic in the past decades. To measure this phenomenon, we are using a self-developed near-field scanning thermal microscope (NSThM) based on an STM. It is equipped with self-made thermocouple tips consisting of a platinum wire molten into a borosilicate glass capillary which is then coated with gold. Since the gold layer can also be used as a tunneling electrode, we were able to measure the thermoelectric voltage and the tunneling current between the tip and sample simultaneously. However, the voltage drop due to the tunneling current interfered with the thermo voltage, making break junction experiments investigating heat and electrical conduction uninterpretable. In a new design of the tips for the NSThM, the thermocouple is covered first by an insulating silicon dioxide film and finally by a second gold film, which then acts as a tunneling electrode separate from the thermocouple and eliminates crosstalk. These tips are called PASA-tips due to the sequence of materials (platinum-gold-silicon dioxide-gold). Some example measurements of radiative heat transfer and heat conduction with these tips are shown to illustrate their capabilities.
