Abstract

We have developed a new dynamic calorimeter using the differential 3 ω detection method. The differential 3 ω calorimeter is capable of measuring dynamic heat capacity of liquid samples. The new calorimeter consists of a Wheatstone bridge made of two identical heater/sensors, and is based on the sensitive null detection method. The balancing is done automatically at all frequencies and is independent of temperature; once a sample is placed on one heater/sensor, a third harmonic signal is produced due to the difference in the two arms of the bridge. The differential 3 ω calorimeter provides enhancements over traditional dynamic methods in dynamic range (up to 30 kHz), resolution, and ease of operation.
