Abstract

The amount of energy absorbed in material and not converted to heat is identical with the (negative or positive) heat of reactions and other processes induced by radiation. This fraction of energy is called “heat defect”. In order to determine the heat defect, which is generally a very small effect, a precise isothermal twin calorimeter was constructed [description see Sabelet al., Rad. and Environm. Biophys.11, 247–257 (1974)]. One of the absorbers consisted of the material to be investigated.
