There is a great interest in the scientific community to perform calorimetry on samples having mass in the nanogram range. A detailed knowledge of the energy (heat) exchange in the fast growing family of micro- and nano-systems could provide valuable information about the chemistry and physics at the nano-scale. The possibility to have an atomically flat thermal probe represents an added value, because it provides the unique opportunity to perform Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) together with calorimetry. Here we report the fabrication, characterization, and calibration of atomically flat, single-crystalline gold film thermometers on mica substrate. Gold re-crystallization has been obtained, and successively the thermometer surface has been studied by Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). The thermometer calibration demonstrates a heat exchange coefficient of 2.1 x 10^(-7) W/K and a performance about 10 times better than previous sensors based on Si substrates. The experimental setup allows the simultaneous investigation of heat exchange and surface physics on the same sample. |
