Abstract
The fabrication and characterization of nanothermometers for use in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are reviewed. Comparisons of different core-shell nanothermo-meters in terms of the working temperature range, growth conditions, and thermal expansion coefficients are made. The thermal stability of oxide compounds is discussed. c 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
