Abstract
Nano-scale temperature measurements are of significance for fundamental understanding of functional applications and nanosystems, requiring ultimate miniaturization of thermometers with reduced size, maintained sensitivity, simplicity and accuracy of temperature reading. Particularly, grand challenges exist for scenarios of combustion or thermal shock where materials may be subjected to drastic temperature variations and extreme thermal flux, and dynamic thermal sensors with an ultrafast response (seconds to milliseconds) are yet to be developed.
