Measurement of the specific heat capacity (cp) using the transient heating wire method
The specific heat capacity is a fundamental thermophysical property of materials and is useful for assessing materials and their areas of application. It can be determined using dynamic differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Characterization of photovoltaic materials by measuring the Hall voltage
Characterization of photovoltaic materials – The charge carrier mobility in semiconductor materials is an important parameter for their usability in solar cells.
How to correctly calibrate a Differential Scanning Calorimeter
Correct calibration of a DSC – Why is correct calibration so important? Thermoanalytical measurements are often used in quality assurance;
Melting point, crystallization, and glass transition in polymers
Melting point, crystallization and glass transition in polymers – The change in the aggregate state of a solid from solid to liquid is called melting.
Measuring Specific Heat Capacity (cp) using Laser Flash Analysis (LFA)
The specific heat capacity cp, thermal diffusivity a and thermal conductivity λ are important thermophysical material properties for characterizing the thermal conductivity of materials.
Phase transitions with dilatometer
A dilatometer can be used to determine phase transitions in materials, as a phase change is also accompanied by a change in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the material.
Measurement of thermal stability
A plastic is thermally stable if it does not decompose under the influence of temperature. The opposite of thermostability is thermolability.
Real-time insight into the grain growth with the non-destructive NDT technology laser ultrasound
In cooperation with Linseis Messgeräte GmbH and RECENDT GmbH (Research Center for Non-Destructive Testing GmbH), a real-time grain size determination system based on a dilatometer system (DIL L78/RITA) and an adapted laser-ultrasonic system (LUS) was developed.
Phase transition of a substance: Melting
Melting describes the phase transition of a substance from a solid state to a liquid state.
What happens during Crystallization (Tc)?
Crystallization describes the transition of a substance into a crystalline state. This can occur from the gas phase, solid phase or liquid phase.
