A new scientific device for the simultaneous determination of temperature dependent thermal properties: thermal diffusivity, heat conductivity and heat capacity

• Applicant: Dr.-Ing. Stephanie Lippmann
• Subject Area: Thermodynamics and Kinetics as well as Properties of Phases and Microstructure of Materials ; Physical Chemistry of Solids and Surfaces, Material Characterisation
• Term: from 2017 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 326948128

In the proposed project a new scientific device will be developed that is capable of measuring the main thermal properties heat conductivity, thermal diffusivity and heat capacity within a single experimental cycle as a function of temperature. Employing the new method will allow thermal characterization with the same accuracy as standard methods using two devices, but with a drastically reduced effort with respect to experimental time by up to two orders of magnitude. The reduced effort will render systematic studies of complex alloy systems possible.
