“…As shown in Figure d–f, the S a values become larger in the range of 298–523 K. The data reach maximum values of 0.027 K –1 (mode 1, I 590nm / I 446nm ), 0.067 K –1 (mode 2, I 621nm / I 446nm ), and 0.066 K –1 (mode 3, I 705nm / I 446nm ) at 523 K. The change of S r is interrelated to S a and FIR derived from eq , and its maximal values are given as follows: 1.14% K –1 (mode 1, I 590nm / I 446nm ), 1.27% K –1 (mode 2, I 621nm / I 446nm ), and 1.26% K –1 (mode 3, I 705nm / I 446nm ) at 298 K. Compared with the S a / S r of mode 1 and mode 3, the S a and S r obtained by mode 2 are higher. The S a reaches a maximum value of 0.067 K –1 at 523 K. The highest value for S r is 1.27% K –1 at 298 K. Moreover, these two values are better than most of the thermal sensing materials via the use of the FIR technology as shown in Table . − To accurately assess the thermal performance of materials, the temperature resolution (δ T ) has been measured and it can be calculated by the following formula: δFIR/FIR means the relative error in the measurement. The relative error value through the calculation is 0.48%.…”
