Abstract
An error has been noted in the seminal work by Cape and Lehman [J. App l. Phys. 34, 926 (1963)] for determining thermal diffusivity values fr om the results of pulse heating experiments. In the present communicat ion, the correct formula has been determined and some estimates have b een made of the errors resulting from application of the incorrect for mulation.
