  • Page 25 Of course, you can save it as the default. Thermally thin means a sample that is actually thin or has a large thermal diffusivity at the same time. It refers to the state in which heat is immediately transferred to the rear surface. ai-phase mobile M3 type1...
  • Page 26 If there is such a jump, it becomes impossible to calculate. •  Shift the entire plot downwards to secure a straight line. •  On the config screen, enter 30-60 ° in“ shift” to lower the first plot as don't over scale. ai-phase mobile M3 type1...
  • Page 27 In this case, 4Hz is divided by 0.2Hz, so 20 points are obtained. •  Don‘t forget to put “deg” back when returning to normal measurement. •  For the measurement, add 60 ° to each of the two phases of the setup. •  Don't forget to restore the original value. ai-phase mobile M3 type1...
  • Page 28 Here Δθ is the phase shift, α is the thermal diffusivity, f is the •  frequency, and d is the sample thickness. Thus, plotting the phase shift versus the square root of the frequency, and using separately measured values for the sample thickness, allows calculation of the thermal diffusivity. ai-phase mobile M3 type1...
