Abstract
In the presentation, we show that photoexcitation of a silicon nitride nanopore using a focused visible laser results in efficient localized photothermal heating. Our theoretical and experimental results probed that the nanopore current can be used as a nanoscale thermometer. Finally, We utilize this to probe thermal melting transitions in synthetic and native biomolecules that are heated at the nanopore.
