Abstract
This Letter presents a solution of the problem of the real temperature of nanoparticles under conditions of electron microscope beam irradiation. It is shown that the average temperature of the nanoparticles (NPs) may increase to several hundred degrees depending on contact conditions with the substrate, the intensity of the beam and the size of the NPs. The temperature increases with NP size a according to the dependence: T α a2 for sufficiently small particles.Keywords
