Extending Cooling Rate Performance of Fast Scanning Chip Calorimetry by Liquid Droplet Cooling

The liquid droplet cooling technique for fast scanning chip calorimetry (FSC) is introduced, increasing the rate large samples on a given sensor. Reaching higher rates and using gas as medium, common standard ultra-fast temperature control in requires reducing lateral dimensions of sample maximum limited by heat capacity exchange between sample. enhanced performance new demonstrated both metals polymers, examples solidification indium, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) poly (butylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PBN). It was found that can be increased up to 5 MK/s room environment, is, two orders magnitude, compared cooling. Furthermore, modifying size coolants at different temperatures provide options adjust ranges interest.
