In this paper, the aluminum nitride (AlN) was fabricated by pressureless sintering with YF3 and various silicon compounds as the sintering aids. The phase, microstructure, density and thermal conductivity were characterized by XRD, SEM and laser thermal diffusivity method. The sample densities were detected varied from 3.17 to 3.30g/cm3 and room-temperature thermal conductivity varied from 196 to 233 W/m·K. Samples sintered with YF3 additives have the highest thermal conductivity. The sintering aids with SiO2, Si3N4 and SiC would decrease the density and the thermal conductivity obviously, and also change the fracture mode from the intergranular to transgranular , which is a key for the toughness of the AlN substrate.

We report the room temperature thermal conductivity κ and thermal diffusivity α of polycrystalline La0.7Ca0.3-xSrxMnO3 for x = 0 to 0.1. The samples were prepared by heating at 1220 and 1320oC. The insulator-metal transition temperature, TIM and thermal diffusivity increased with Sr content. Phonon was the dominant contributor to thermal conductivity and the electronic contribution was less than 1%. Enhancement of electrical conductivity σ and thermal diffusivity for x ≥ 0.08 was observed in both series of samples. The grain size of the samples (28 to 46 µm) does not show any affect on the thermal and electrical properties.

Allotropes of carbon, such as diamond and graphene, are among the best conductors of heat. We monitored the evolution of thermal conductivity in thin graphite as a function of temperature and thickness and found an intimate link between high conductivity, thickness, and phonon hydrodynamics. The room-temperature in-plane thermal conductivity of 8.5-micrometer-thick graphite was 4300 watts per meter-kelvin—a value well above that for diamond and slightly larger than in isotopically purified graphene. Warming enhances thermal diffusivity across a wide temperature range, supporting partially hydrodynamic phonon flow. The enhancement of thermal conductivity that we observed with decreasing thickness points to a correlation between the out-of-plane momentum of phonons and the fraction of momentum-relaxing collisions. We argue that this is due to the extreme phonon dispersion anisotropy in graphite.

Recently aluminum nitride (A1N) has been intensively studied as a promising material for production of hybrid integrated circuit substrates because of its high thermal conductivity, high fjexural strength, and nontoxic nature. The estimated theoretical value of its thermal conductivity at room temperature is 320 W/mK, but it is strongly degraded by the introduction of oxygen. The measured values vary from 30 to 260 W/mK, Therefore, in production of this material the reduction of oxygen contamination is of paramount importance.

Samples of sintered and arc-cast tungsten are available from NBS as thermal conductivity (SRM 730) and electrical resistivity (SRM 799) standards for the temperature range from 4 to 3000K. NBS recommended values for these properties above room temperature are based on results of various researchers during a previous international program which included arc-cast and sintered tungsten. The sintered tungsten used in this program was found to be unsuited for use as a standard material due to inhomogeneity and high temperature instability. The present paper gives results at high temperatures for thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity and Wiedemann-Franz-Lorenz ratio for a sample of the NBS sintered tungsten using the Properties Research Laboratory’s multiproperty apparatus. These results are compared to values recommended by the Thermophysical Properties Research Center, NBS, and an international program.

ABSTRACTThe thermal diffusivity of Ge has been measured over a temperature range from 300° C to 1010° C which includes values for the melt. Specific heat has been measured from room temperature to 727° C. Thermal conductivity has been calculated over the same temperature range as the diffusivity measurements. These data are reported along with the best values from the literature for the other parameters which are required to calculate the temperature and convective fields for the growth of germanium by the Bridgman method. These parameters include the specific heat, the viscosity, the emissivity, and the density as a function of temperature.

A laser flash technique was applied to measure the thermal diffusivity along a multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) array in temperature range of −55∼200 °C. In the measurements, a nanosecond pulsed laser was used to realize noncontact heating and the temperature variations were recorded by an infrared detector. The experimental results show that the thermal diffusivity of the CNT array increases slightly with temperature in the −55∼70 °C temperature range and exhibits no obvious change in the −75∼200 °C temperature range. The CNT array has much larger thermal diffusivity than several known excellent thermal conductors, reaching about 4.6 cm2s−1 at room temperature. The mean thermal conductivity (λ) of individual CNTs was further estimated from the thermal diffusivity, specific heat (Cp), and density (ρ) by using the correlation of λ = αρCp. The thermal conductivity of individual CNTs increases smoothly with the temperature increase, reaching about 750 Wm−1K−1 at room temperature.

The thermal diffusivities (D) of porous α–Al2O3 specimens prepared from nano-size γ–Al2O3 powder and from conventional submicrometer-size alumina powders were measured at room temperature, and the thermal conductivity (κ) was calculated from D. Plots of κ versus the volume fraction of porosity (P) showed that the data from both sets of samples followed similar linear curves. Similarly, data of Vickers hardness versus P obtained from the same specimens also followed a single linear curve. The good correlation of thermal diffusivity with P suggests that grain boundaries have a lesser effect on thermal transport than porosity.

Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of blended clays have been studied with special reference to Ukrainian clay. The blends were made of three different clays available locally in western part of Rajasthan. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were determined using the transient plane source (TPS) technique at room temperature and normal pressure. It was found that thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the blends reported maximum at temperature 1200° C and near in the values of Ukrainian clay. The thermal conductivity of blend B2 reported maximum value (1.29 W/m-k) in the present study.
