• Abstract: Understanding heat transport is relevant to develop efficient strategies for thermal management in microelectronics for instance, as well as for fundamental science purposes. However, measuring temperatures in nanostructured environments and in cryogenic conditions remains a challenging task, that requires both high sentitivity and a non-invasive approach. Here we present a portable nanothermometer based on a molecular two-level quantum system that operates in the 3 - 30 K temperature range, with excellent temperature and spatial resolutions on the order of mK and $\mu$m, respectively. We validate the performance of this molecular thermometer on nanostructures, by estimating the thermal conductivity of a patterned silicon membrane. In addition, we demonstrate the two-dimensional temperature mapping of a patterned surface via the simultaneous spectroscopy of all thermometers deposited on a sample. These results demonstrate the potential of this molecular thermometer to explore thermal properties and related phenomena at cryogenic temperatures.

We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.
