S. Raman et al., PHOTOACOUSTIC STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF DEGASSING TEMPERATURE ON THERMAL-DIFFUSIVITY OF HYDROXYL LOADED ALUMINA, Applied physics letters, 67(20), 1995, pp. 2939-2941
The thermal diffusivity of gamma-alumina is determined by the photoaco
ustic method. The method is calibrated by determining the thermal diff
usivity of copper and aluminum. The effect of the chemisorbed hydroxyl
groups on thermal diffusivity is studied by degassing the sample at d
ifferent temperatures. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
