We present a contactless method of detecting small changes in the
surface temperature of metallic samples over a short time period.
The thermometry method incorporates a contactless heater and simplifies
sample preparation requirements for calorimetric measurements. We
demonstrate that we can measure small temperature shifts (250 �K)
in 5 ms at midrange temperatures (155 K). This method does not serve
as a conventional thermometer but as an in situ thermometer useful
for narrow temperature ranges, such as the region of a phase transition
(often exploited in bolometers). The manganite material Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3
was chosen as a test material for our experiments because it is a
well characterized material where resistivity and magnetization Kuwakara
et al., Science 270, 961 (1995) and thermal conductivity Kim et
al., American Physical Society March Meeting, W24.009 (2004) have
been previously measured and the material undergoes a metal-insulator
transition.
