The thermoresistive tips used for scanning thermal microscopy are mostly conical in shape with a spherical tip apex for optimal tip thermal conductance and a spring constant of around 0.3 N/m [26]. The tip radius of curvature of modern thermoresistive probes are around 50 nm and they have a very short time response, around few tens of microsecond with the temperature coefficient of the electrical resistance at around 0.0012 /K [27]. The probe tip is around 10 um. This length allows creating separation necessary between the cantilever and the sample, which thereby, notably in case of hot sample in thermometric measurements, reduces the cantilever heating.
