Title:
TEMPERATURE-SENSING ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE ELEMENT, AND NANO-THERMOMETER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/051207
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A nano-thermometer, comprising, as a temperature-sensing element, a carbon nanotube in which continuous columnar indium is involved and a temperature measurement part for measuring an environmental temperature by measuring the axial length of the columnar indium in the temperature-sensing element which varies according to a variation in the environmental temperature. The novel nano-temperature is usable for measuring temperatures in a wide temperature range in the environment of micrometer size or less.
