A mirage-effect thermal-wave method for the measurement of thermal diffusivities of solids is described. Data from two different laboratories are provided for various pure elements and compound semiconductor materials. In most cases the agreement with literature values is good.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
