Abstract:
A photothermal radiometry configuration that allows the measurement of the temperature dependence of thermal parameters of solid materials is described. Two procedures are proposed. The first one is based on a combination of phase and amplitude signal data collected at a single frequency and the second one makes use of the information contained in the phase signal data, obtained at two different chopping frequencies. The methods are recommended for calorimetric studies requiring temperature scans at a constant chopping frequency.

Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred to as...

The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...
