Linseis introduces new LSR-1

With the new LSR-1 from Linseis Messgeräte GmbH, thermoelectric materials, such as those used in sensors or Peltie elements, can be characterized easily and conveniently in the form of solid materials and thin films. In the basic version – New LSR-1 – both the Seebeck coefficient and the electrical resistivity can be measured fully automatically and simultaneously from -160°C to 200°C. The basic version can be supplemented by a gas detector. The basic version can be extended with a gas dosing system, sample illumination and a cryo option.

The new LSR-1 system allows the characterization of metallic and semiconducting samples according to the well-known Van der Pauw method (resistivity) as well as the Seebeck coefficient by gradient sweep and linear regression.

Thin films, which can be measured with the new LSR-1, can be found in semiconductor technology, the production of liquid crystal displays (LCD) and many other applications of nanotechnology such as solar modules, the production of sensors or medical technology.

Thermal conductivity of porous carbon materials

Porous carbon materials, in particular carbon aerogels, are the focus of current research. These materials are characterized by an extremely low thermal conductivity, which is mainly due to their porous structure and low bulk density.

Glass Transition Temperature

The glass transition temperature Tg is a point on the temperature scale at which a polymer or glass changes into a rubbery, viscous state. However, this is not the same as the melting point.

Thermal Interface Materials – Overview and application

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are used in the field of electronics to ensure efficient heat dissipation and prevent local temperature overloads.

Accurately measure Seebeck – importance in science and technology

The Seebeck effect enables the direct conversion of heat into electrical energy.

How does a pushrod dilatometer work?

A dilatometer is a measuring device for recording the thermal expansion of a material sample. The thermal expansion coefficient (CTE = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) is calculated from the measurement results.

Crystallization and recrystallization of polymers

The properties of solids depend to a large extent on the arrangement of the particles (atoms and molecules) that make up the substances. If the arrangement is random, the substances are amorphous. In crystalline substances, the particles are arranged at regular intervals and in a fixed pattern.

Curing in thermal analysis

Materials that are processed in a liquid aggregate state generally require a certain amount of time to harden.

Specific heat capacity (Cp) with modulated DSC

The specific heat capacity (cp), often referred to as specific heat, is a fundamental thermophysical property of a material. It says something about the ability to store thermal energy.
