The emergence of flexible nanoelectronics holds the promise to impact the way we live—from smart wearables to foldable smartphones. However, heat dissipation in the atomically-thin materials used for their conception has remained poorly understood due to their planar structures. This project aims at the detection and mapping of nanoscale thermal hotspots in flexible nanoelectronics devices using a two-dimensional-based optical thermometer. The expected outcome of this project is the development of a non-invasive thermometric technology that enables locating these critical nanoscale hotspots with nanoscale precision. This will lead to better design and manufacturing strategies for heat dissipation in these devices.
