SThM-based local thermomechanical analysis: Measurement intercomparison and uncertainty analysis

Abstract: We assess Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) with a self-heated doped silicon nanoprobe as a method for determining the local phase transition temperature of polymeric materials by means of nanothermomechanical analysis (nano-TA). Reference semi-crystalline samples and amorphous test samples, characterized first using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), are studied by nano-TA in the temperature range 50-250°C. The repeatability, the reproducibility and the reliability of nano-TA are evaluated by three lab… Show more

“…Controling the factors that generate uncertainty during the test process improves the experimental accuracy [13][14]. Simultaneously, providing measurement uncertainty in the test results can further clarify the credibility of the measurement results and provide a basis for the judgment of experimental conclusions [15].…”

“…Among these measurement methods, the Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) [2,3] is the most used technique as it enables to reach a lateral resolution less than 100 nm with appropriate probes [4,5], whereas optical approaches such as photothermal radiometry [6], thermo-reflectance [7], and photo-reflectance [8] are limited by light diffraction and have thus higher lateral spatial resolution. Based on conventional atomic force microscopy (AFM) equipped with a miniaturised thermal sensor, SThM devices have been developed actively since the 1990s in order to operate either in passive mode for surface temperature measurements [9] or in active mode for phase transition detection [10], thermal contact resistance [11], and thermal conductivity contrast imaging [12][13][14].…”
