Thermal Nanosensors
5.1 Introduction
Temperature is a fundamental physical property in both scientic and
industrial elds. It is one of the primary physical quantities that is routinely
measured to derive other thermodynamic quantities such as heat, energy,
or specic heat capacity (the ratio of the amount of heat, measured in calo-
ries, required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1°C to the
amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a similar mass of a ref-
erence material, usually water, by the same amount); thermodynamics is the
science that deals with the relationships and conversions between heat and
