| contents | With increasing interest in utilizing nanostructures as nanoscale heat sources, the ability to precisely measure photothermal effects at the nanoscale has become increasingly significant. Techniques based on fluorescence or Raman signals often suffer from challenges in accurate calibration, far-field imaging methods are limited by diffraction-limited spatial resolution, and electron microscopy requires vacuum conditions, restricting in situ applicability. In contrast, tip-based measurement techniques offer sub-diffraction spatial resolution under ambient conditions, making them well-suited for nanoscale photothermal mapping. In this study, we employ tip-based optical force nanoscopy combined with phase-informed decomposition to investigate the origin of the photothermal force, enable nanoscale mapping, and evaluate temperature sensitivity. Our system achieves a temperature sensitivity of approximately 0.1 K without necessitating an additional temperature-sensitive layer. We anticipate that our approach has the potential to serve as a versatile platform for investigating localized thermal effects in fields such as semiconductors, nanophotonics, and photocatalysis. |
