Description: This book aims to serve as apractical guide for novices to design and conduct measurements of thermalproperties at the nanoscale using electrothermal techniques. An outgrowth ofthe authors’ tutorials for new graduate students in their own labs, it includespractical details on measurement design and selection, sensitivity anduncertainty analysis, and pitfalls and verifications. The information isparticularly helpful for someone setting up their own experiment for the firsttime.
The book emphasizes the integration of thermal analysis with practicalexperimental considerations, in order to design an experiment for bestsensitivity and to configure the laboratory instruments accordingly. The focusis on the measurements of thermal conductivity, though thermal diffusivity andthermal boundary resistance (thermal contact resistance) are also brieflycovered, and many of the principles can be generalized to other challengingthermal measurements.
The reader is only expected to have the basic familiarity withelectrical instruments typical of a university graduate in science orengineering, and an acquaintance with the elementary laws of heat transfer byconduction, convection, and radiation.
