Fluctuation electrodynamics was used as a basis to obtain an expression for the dissipation power of a thermal electromagnetic field of a heated plane sample in the tip of a probe microscope, as a function of the value of a gap between them. We have shown that the energy dissipation rate is inversely proportional to the tip-sample distance cubed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
