Abstract
Upon illumination of the nanojunction formed between an atomically sharp tip and the sample, both the tip and specimen experience heating, followed by thermal expansion. Whereas sample expansion forms the basis of photothermal infrared (PTIR) microscopy, the effect of tip expansion remains unclear. In this contribution we model and measure the tip heating and expansion effect and quantify its contribution under conditions typical for light-based scan probe microscopy.
