In this paper, we describe the use of an open cell photoacoustic configuration for the evaluation of the thermal effusivity
of liquid crystals. The feasibility, precision and reliability of the method are initially established by measuring the thermal
effusivities of water and glycerol, for which the effusivity values are known accurately. In order to demonstrate the use
of the present method in the thermal characterization of liquid crystals, we have measured the thermal effusivity values in
various mesophases of 4-cyano-4′-octyloxybiphenyl (8OCB) and 4-cyano-4′-heptyloxybiphenyl (7OCB) liquid crystals using a variable temperature open photoacoustic cell. A comparison of the measured
values for the two liquid crystals shows that the thermal effusivities of 7OCB in the nematic and isotropic phases are slightly
less than those of 8OCB in the corresponding phases.

Transient thermal grating method is used to measure the thermal diffusivity of absorbing films deposited on transparent substrates. According to periodically modulated dielectric constant variations and thermoelastic deformations of the thin films caused by the transient thermal gratings, an improved optical diffraction theory is presented. In the experiment, the probing laser beam reflectively diffracted by the thermal grating is measured by a photomultiplier at different grating fringe spaces. The thermal diffusivity of the film can be evaluated by fitting the theoretical calculations of diffraction signals to the experimental measured data. The validity of the method is tested by measuring the thermal diffusivities of absorbing ZnO films deposited on glass substrates. 相似文献

Computer simulations have been carried out to study the effects of the experimental parameters when the mirage method has been applied to thermal diffusivity measurements of oriented polymer films. The parameters under study are the thermal diffusivity of the fluid surrounding the sample, the modulation frequency and the radius of the heating beam, the height and the radius of the probe beam, and the sample thickness and thermal diffusivity. Proposals for the optimum parameter values to maximize the measurement sensitivity for the sample diffusivity are made and the difficulties arising from the low diffusivity of the samples are described. It is also concluded that because the thermal properties of the fluid surrounding the sample have a strong contribution to the mirage signals, the signals do not include any simple feature corresponding to the sample diffusivity. Therefore it should be determined from the entire measurement data using regression methods. 相似文献

The thermal properties of carbon nanotubes are directly related to their unique structure and small size. Because of these
properties, nanotubes may prove to be an ideal material for the study of low-dimensional phonon physics, and for thermal management,
both on the macro- and the micro-scale. We have begun to explore the thermal properties of nanotubes by measuring the specific
heat and thermal conductivity of bulk SWNT samples. In addition, we have synthesized nanotube-based composite materials and
measured their thermal conductivity.
The measured specific heat of single-walled nanotubes differs from that of both 2D graphene and 3D graphite, especially at
low temperatures, where 1D quantization of the phonon bandstructure is observed. The measured specific heat shows only weak
effects of intertube coupling in nanotube bundling, suggesting that this coupling is weaker than expected. The thermal conductivity
of nanotubes is large, even in bulk samples: aligned bundles of SWNTs show a thermal conductivity of >200 W/m K at room temperature.
A linear K(T) up to approximately 40 K may be due to 1D quantization; measurement of K(T) of samples with different average
nanotube diameters supports this interpretation.
Nanotube–epoxy blends show significantly enhanced thermal conductivity, showing that nanotube-based composites may be useful
not only for their potentially high strength, but also for their potentially high thermal conductivity.

A modified amplitude method to analyze the photothermal probe beam deflection signal for the determination of low thermal diffusivity values of materials is proposed. This simple theoretical model, which is an extension of the amplitude method proposed by Quelin et al., takes into account the dependence of the photothermal signal on the height of the probe beam above the sample surface which affects mirage measurements when the thermal diffusivity of the coupling medium is greater than that of the sample. The present work is similar to the modification to the phase method proposed by Bertolotti et al. for determination of low thermal diffusivity. The method can be applied irrespective of whether the sample is optically transparent or optically opaque and is independent of thickness. 相似文献

Transient thermal gratings at surfaces for thermal characterization of bulk materials and thin films
O. W. Käding H. Skurk A. A. Maznev E. Matthias 《Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing》1995,61(3):253-261
Transient Thermal Gratings (TTGs) at surfaces of absorbing materials have been utilized for investigating heat diffusion in bulk materials and thin films. In this report, we describe the theoretical background of the technique and present experimental data. TTGs were excited in the surface plane by interference of two pulsed laser beams and monitored by a cw probe beam, either via temperature dependence of the reflectivity or by deflection from the displacement pattern. A theoretical model describing the thermal and thermoelastic surface response was developed, both for a homogeneous material and a multilayer structure. The potential of the technique will be demonstrated by experimental results on (i) thermal diffusivities of bulk materials, (ii) anisotropic lateral heat transport, and (iii) thermal diffusivities of metal and diamond films. Furthermore, we will show that TTGs allow thermal depth profiling of inhomogeneous materials whenever there is a vertical gradient in thermal conductivity. 相似文献

Orthorhombic EuPdSb is known to undergo two magnetic transitions, at 12 K and at T
N≃ 18 K, and in phase III (T < 12 K), single crystal magnetisation data have shown that the spin structure is collinear antiferromagnetic, with magnetic
moments along the crystal a axis. From a 151Eu M?ssbauer absorption study, we show that, at any temperature within phase III, all the moments have equal sizes, and that
in phase II (12 K< T <18 K) the magnetic structure is modulated and incommensurate with the lattice spacings. The modulation is close to a pure
sine-wave just below T
N = 18 K, and it squares up as temperature is lowered. We measured the thermal variations of the first and third harmonics
of the moment modulation, and we could determine the first and third harmonics of the exchange coupling. We furthermore show
that the antiferromagnetic-incommensurate transition at 12 K is strongly first order, with a hysteresis of 0.05 K, and that
the incommensurate-paramagnetic transition at 18 K is weakly first order. Finally, we present an explanation of the spin-flop
transition observed in the single crystal magnetisation data in phase III when || in terms of an anisotropic molecular field tensor.

We have used a modified photothermal probe beam deflection system with a back pumping configuration for the measurements of the temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity of atmospheric air. The results are consistent and reasonably well agree with the literature values. The measured thermal diffusivity values are the same for the same measuring temperature regardless of the beam offsets and the deflecting surface temperatures. For the gas with known temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity, this method can be used to deduce the temperature of a gas from the measured thermal diffusivity value. 相似文献

The noncontact imaging of the buried structures is carried out in the open-air atmosphere by using the photothermal deflection
(PTD) method. We applied these techniques to the layered samples. Besides the PTD images for the optically opaque buried structures,
the parameters of the materials such as thermal diffusivity can also be calculated from the PTD amplitude and phase signal
in the PTD scanning images. When the PTD signals at two different modulation frequencies are used, the thermal diffusivity
of the buried structure can be obtained from the PTD signal outside of the sample nondestructively.

In the present paper, the investigations on the non radiative decay mechanism, optical band gap determination from absorption spectroscopic studies and fluorescence emission by photo luminescence techniques using different excitation wavelengths on gel derived lead di bromide single crystals are reported. Non radiative decay of the sample is studied using high sensitive dual beam mode matched thermal lens technique. For the thermal lensing experiment the crystal in solution phase is incorporated with rhodamine 6G dye for enhancing the absorption of the crystal sample. The thermal diffusivity of lead di bromide is determined using the probe beam intensity v/s time measurements. 相似文献

y Ga1-yAs alloys grown by liquid phase epitaxy on GaAs substrates, by means of the open photoacoustic cell detection technique and
the temperature-rise method under continuous light illumination. The values of the thermal conductivity, diffusivity and specific
heat were obtained in the 0<y<0.5 region, where the AlyGa1-yAs band gap is mainly direct. The technique presented here is based upon an effective sample model which is shown to be suitable
for the determination of the thermal properties of two layer semiconductor specimens.

In this paper an analytical solution of the temperature of an opaque material containing two overlapping and parallel subsurface
cylinders, illuminated by a modulated light beam, is presented. The method is based on the expansion of plane and cylindrical
thermal waves in series of Bessel and Hankel functions. This model is addressed to the study of heat propagation in composite
materials with interconnection between inclusions, as is the case of inverse opals and fiber reinforced composites. Measurements
on calibrated samples using lock-in infrared thermography confirm the validity of the model. 相似文献

A complete theoretical treatment for the determination of thermal diffusivity of superlattices by the mirage technique has been performed. An effective medium approximation model of the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of both sublayers is presented, which is different from the simple models with the thermal diffusivity or thermal conductivity in series or parallel. The numerical calculation of the transverse component of the probe beam deflection in the mirage effect shows that the results obtained from the complete thermal-wave theory and the medium approximation model, for the optically and thermally thick superlattices, are in good agreement with each other. However, the further study on the thermally thin superlattices shows that either the series or the parallel model of the thermal conductivity should be chosen according to whether the thermal impedance of the superlattice is larger or less than that of substrate, respectively. 相似文献

The thermal diffusivity h of a thin film on a substrate is measured by using the mirage technique. The photothermal deflection of the probe beam is caused by the heat field and the substrate, heated by the pump beam. From the experimental data a two-dimensional algorithm is proposed to obtain the measurements of the diffusivity of film and substrate in one set of mirage detection. 相似文献

We have studied ultra-fast carrier dynamics of photo-excited carriers in hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon prepared by
a very high frequency glow-discharge technique. We report on direct observation of two types of dynamics using selective photo-excitation
in picosecond pump and probe measurements. One type of the observed dynamics has been found to be independent of the sample
preparation, while the other reflects the relative weights of crystalline and amorphous fractions. We propose a simple rate-equation
model that describes the carrier dynamics in microcrystalline silicon in terms of the composition of those in Si microcrystallites
and in the a-Si:H tissue which surrounds the microcrystallites. The model without any fitting parameters reproduces the experimental
data very well when the dynamics are scaled with relative volume fractions as obtained from Raman spectra.

In this paper, the parametric scattering of a single extraordinary polarized beam of laser in BaTiO3 photorefractive crystal has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The resulting pattern consists of beam fanning, isotropic ring, and anisotropic one. Among all parts of scattering pattern, isotropic ring has not been studied as much as beam fanning and anisotropic ring, and there still are some differences in reports about it. Therefore, the study has mainly focused on this part. In this experimental configuration, isotropic ring is just visible in positive angles although the other parts of parametric scattering pattern can be visible from behind and in front of the crystal. In addition to steady state pattern in forward and backward directions, its transient behavior with the rotation of crystal has been studied. The results of experiments have been analyzed carefully, and their theoretical explanations have been presented based on the standard theory of parametric scattering in photorefractive crystals. It has been shown that this configuration corresponds to the so called parametric B-process scattering. 相似文献
