Title:
THERMOMETRIC METHOD USING MICRO-SIZED TEMPERATURE SENSING ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005024256
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method for measuring accurately the temperature in a wide temperature range in an environment below a micro-meter size.
The change of the temperature and the length of gallium in this temperature sensing element comprising a carbon nanotube including continuous columnar gallium is measured beforehand. Then, the temperature sensing element is installed on a temperature measuring object and heated in the air, and thereafter taken out. Then, the gallium length is measured, and the measured gallium length is substituted for a formula to thereby perform measurement.
