An overview of temperature measurements in thermophoretic devices.

Measurement Principle Spatial Resolution Accuracy Domain Reference
contact method advantages: good accuracy
simple and fast configuration of measuring system
limitations: single point, assumption of linear temperature profile
resistance resistance ∼10 μm ∼0.1 K point [39,58,90,91,92]
temperature variation
detector on T
thermocouple Seebeck effect ∼0.1 μm ∼0.01 K point [55,56,61,69]
non-contact method advantages: direct measure of the temperature profile
limitations: transparent materials, moderate accuracy
calibration required
fluorescence
