  • 3D diffusivity
    Patent number: 9939396
    Abstract: A system for measuring the thermal diffusivity of a material includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion, a plate holding the material in a fixed position between the upper portion and lower portion of the housing, and a source at the lower portion of the housing projecting heat onto the material along a first axis that is perpendicular to the plate. A sensor at the lower portion of the housing is movable in relation to the plate and senses the heat radiating through the material along a second axis that is perpendicular to the plate and offset from the first axis. A controller receives data from the sensor and calculates the thermal diffusivity of the material.

  • Device And Method For The Photothermic Investigation Of A Sample
    Publication number: 20140036955
    Abstract: A device for the photothermic investigation of a sample, with an excitation source for generating an electromagnetic excitation beam directed onto an excitation side of the sample, a detector for detecting thermal radiation emitted by a detection side of the sample, and a temperature-controllable sample chamber with a sample holder accommodated therein for the arrangement and temperature control of the sample. According to the invention, provision is made such that an adjustable detection lens system is provided between the sample holder and the detector, the detection lens system being adjustable in order to adjust a desired field of vision of the detector on the sample surface.
