Heat transfer laws for conduction, radiation and convection change when the dimensions of the systems in question shrink. The altered behaviours can be used efficiently in energy conversion, respectively bio- and high-performance materials to control microelectronic devices. To understand and model those thermal mechanisms, specific metrologies have to be established. This book provides an overview of actual devices and materials involving micro-nanoscale heat transfer mechanisms. These are clearly explained and exemplified by a large spectrum of relevant physical models, while the most advanced nanoscale thermal metrologies are presented.

Intracellular Thermometry with Fluorescent Molecular Thermometers Understand a vital new bioanalytical technique with this comprehensive introduction to measuring temperature on the cellular scale Most organisms have highly controlled body temperatures, fluctuations in which are therefore sensitive indicators of changes in body function. In recent years, the development of fluorescent molecular thermometers and related intracellular temperature probes has enabled researchers to track these fluctuations at the cellular rather than the organismic level, opening up a whole new field of study in cell and molecular biology. Intracellular Thermometry with Fluorescent Molecular Thermometers provides bioanalytical researchers with an introduction to these technologies and their current and future applications. Starting off with a discussion of temperature as a key factor in biological regulation, it provides an authoritative overview of available fluorescent temperature probes, their characteristics and potential applications. Intracellular Thermometry with Fluorescent Molecular Thermometers readers will also find: Step by step instructions for constructing an intracellular thermometry experiment and validating results Comprehensive discussion of existing applications A vision for the future development of thermal biology as an independent discipline Authored by a pioneer in the field of intracellular thermometry, Intracellular Thermometry with Fluorescent Molecular Thermometers is ideal for researchers in analytical chemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, biophysics, or any related subjects.

This book highlights the theoretical foundations of and experimental techniques in photothermal heating and applications involving nanoscale heat generation using gold nanostructures embedded in various media. The experimental techniques presented involve a combination of nanothermometers doped with rare-earth atoms, plasmonic heaters and near-field microscopy. The theoretical foundations are based on the Maxwell’s and heat diffusion equations. In particular, the working principle and application of AlGaN:Er3+ film, Er2O3 nanoparticles and β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanocrystals for nanothermometry based on Er3+ emission are discussed. The relationship between superheated liquid and bubble formation for optically excited nanostructures and the effects of the surrounding medium and solution properties on light absorption and scattering are presented. The application of Er2O3 and β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanocrystals to study the temperature of optically heated gold nanoparticles is also presented. In closing, the book presents a new thermal imaging technique combining near-field microscopy and Er3+ photoluminescence spectroscopy to monitor the photothermal heating and steady-state sub-diffraction local temperature of optically excited gold nanostructures.

This book explains transparency in biology with emphasis on bending and absorption, which together are the essence of transparency. The reader is provided with an understanding of why the interior of the body can be made to appear transparent through the application of elementary physics. Based on the principle of transparency, emerging imaging techniques using near-infrared light to view the body transparently are explained with examples such as cancer detection and temperature imaging of deep tissues. This book is useful to many researchers, including biologists, physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and device engineers as well as developers—all who seek a deep understanding of transparency in bioimaging.
