Abstract

AbstractThe propagation of a thermal wave into a thin film or coating depends on the thermal properties of the material. Consequently, thermal wave generation and detection can be used to obtain the heat conductivity of the material. The method is also useful because thermal wave propagation is sensitive to inhomogeneity, porosity, inclusions, voids, and delaminations. The results of two specific applications of the thermal wave technique are presented, the heat resistance of oxide coatings and of diamond films.
