Figure 4: Estimate of the radial temperature profile in an electrically heated CNT channel.

From: Direct imaging of Joule heating dynamics and temperature profiling inside a carbon nanotube interconnect

Figure 4

(a) Section of a partially empty Zn0.92Ga0.08S@CNT showing a sharp conical needle. The dotted line marks the nanotube main axis. The box encloses the area where the temperature profile was estimated from. Scale bar, 100 nm. (b) Plot of the temperature variation across the nanotube's channel. The image at the top corresponds to the box in (a). The sublimation temperature of the sulphide is coincident with the surface layers of the conical needle.
