Rp. Tye et A. Maesono, APPLICATION OF NEW INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES TO THERMAL-ANALYSIS OF MATERIALS, Journal of thermal analysis, 40(3), 1993, pp. 971-981
Principles and operation of the infrared gold image furnace are discus
sed and its advantages over conventional resistance furnaces for studi
es of advanced materials listed. Using the gold image furnace in combi
nation with a standard microscope allows continuous monitoring of mate
rials to very high temperatures. New approaches to measurement of heat
capacity and thermal diffusivity/conductivity are also described.
