Abstract

Luminescence is light emission by materials after absorption of energy. Today, this effect has been made into a very powerful way of characterising materials in a whole range of different fields, across physics, biology, and chemistry. In terms of technological applications, luminescence is also on the point of replacing incandescence for short-range lighting purposes, e.g., pocket lamps, with the advent of white light-emitting diodes. In this chapter, we shall describe a specific application of luminescence to the development of thermal nanosensors. There are four sections. In the first two, we simply describe the luminescence phenomenon, along with several light-emitting materials used for thermometric measurements. In particular, we shall explain how the temperature of a material can be determined from data concerning its luminescence. In Sect. 17.3, we shall discuss the technique of scanning thermal microscopy with fluorescent nanoprobes, together with the experimental setup. In the last section, we shall discuss applications of this technique to image microelectronic devices. The characteristics of the probes and their advantages and disadvantages as compared with other near-field probes will be described in some detail.
