Table 1: Contact radius bW corresponding to heat conduction in the water meniscus for
different water film thickness.
Table 2: Thermal conductances and radii for the four heat transfer modes involved in the tip-
sample heat transfer.
Figure 1: Schematic of the probe-sample interaction including conduction through air,
through the water meniscus and through the solid-solid contact.
Figure 2: Scanning Electronic Microscope image of the thermal probe. The Wollaston wire is
a silver coating 75 microns in diameter and a Pt-Rh core 5 microns in diameter. The mirror
ensures the laser reflection to control the tip deflection.
Figure 3: Thermal conductances of the contact and the sample versus the force applied by the
tip on the sample.
Figure 4: Thermal contact conductance through the water meniscus versus the meniscus
thickness.
Figures 5(a) and 5(b): Thermal resistance of the contact and the sample versus the tip
altitude. Figure 5(a) reveals a convective regime when z>20m and a linear regime
corresponding to conduction in air when z

Figure 8: Flux versus radius (small ellipse axis direction) when the tip is in contact and for
different values of sample thermal conductivities. The insert reveals that the contact radius
due to air conduction may vary with the sample thermal conductivity by a factor of 2.
