Overview
Explain how Thermal measurements AFM (or scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) technique) works including appropriate illustrations (diagrams/pictures).
Describe the general setup of the instrument. Include diagrams. How does the device use a cantilever to probe the temperature and thermal conductivity of a material?
State and explain the signal that is used, its source, how it interacts with the material or the cantilever, and how it is collected and interpreted to give a temperature map and thermal conductivity of the material. describe the mathematical algorithm that is utilized in this process.
Use the links below as a guide and provide at least FIVE other sources/references (preferably books).
