Thermal conductivity measurement of suspended Si-N membranes from 10 K to 275 K using the 3ω-Völklein method

Specific heat measurement of thin suspended SiN membrane from 8 K to 300 K using the 3ω-Völklein method.

We present a specific heat measurement technique adapted to thin or very thin suspended membranes from low temperature (8 K) to 300 K. The presented device allows the measurement of the heat capacity of a 70 ng silicon nitride membrane (50 or 100 nm thick), corresponding to a heat capacity of 1.4 × 10(-10) J/K at 8 K and 5.1 × 10(-8) J/K at 300 K. Measurements are performed using the 3ω method ...

Analysis of 3ω method for thermal conductivity measurement

The 3ω method for measurement of thermal conductivity of a solid usually consists of a strip heater above a substrate, and the method is based on an approximate solution of the heat conduction problem in which the heater thickness is neglected. We establish a two-dimensional heat conduction model for the heater-on-substrate 3ω method which takes into account the finite thickness of the heater. ...

Measurement of thermal conductivity of PbTe nanocrystal coated glass fibers by the 3ω method.

Fiber-based thermoelectric materials can conform to curved surfaces to form energy harvesting devices for waste heat recovery. Here we investigate the thermal conductivity in the axial direction of glass fibers coated with lead telluride (PbTe) nanocrystals using the self-heated 3ω method particularly at low frequency. While prior 3ω measurements on wire-like structures have only been demonstra...

Thermal conductivity of highly porous Si in the temperature range 4.2 to 20 K

UNLABELLED We report on experimental results of the thermal conductivity k of highly porous Si in the temperature range 4.2 to 20 K, obtained using the direct current (dc) method combined with thermal finite element simulations. The reported results are the first in the literature for this temperature range. It was found that porous Si thermal conductivity at these temperatures shows a plateau-...
