In this article, we present a bird's eye view of applications of photothermal techniques for
evaluation of the thermal properties of different materials. This is followed by the …

The application of the laser-spot active lock-in infrared thermography technique for the
simultaneous measurement of the thermal diffusivity and conductivity of thermal insulators is …

The role played by physical parameters governing the transport of heat in periodical time-
varying phenomena within solids is discussed. Starting with a brief look at the conduction …

A general expression (master equation, ME) is derived for the thermal impedance in
photothermal experiments in a multilayer system, based on one-dimensional (1D) periodic …

In this paper we discuss the conduction of heat in solids excited by a periodically time-
dependent source, commonly encountered in photothermal experiments. In the analysis, we …

In this paper we discuss the use of an alternative photothermal technique for measurements
of thermal properties of liquids. The proposed technique is based upon the concept of …

Crystalline silicon carbide is a chemically inert wide band gap semiconductor with good
mechanical strength and oxidation-resistant properties at elevated temperatures, which …

In this paper, we describe a new, simple, and fast photothermal method for detecting the
presence of adulterants in commercial gasolines. The method consists essentially of …

This paper describes the concept and principal features of thermal waves using a
phenomenological approach. The role played by thermal waves in photothermal techniques …

In this paper we discuss the use of an alternative photothermal technique for measurements
of thermal properties of liquid mixtures. The proposed technique is based upon the concept …
