Abstract:
The temperature sensitivity of the reflectance of MoS(2) under small temperature modulations has been investigated.It is feasible to detect temperature changes of 10(-2) degrees C by monitoring the reflectance, and thus MoS(2) is a potential candidate material for the pyrooptical sensors.

Atomic Spectroscopy: Effects of Temperature
Atomization, converting samples into gas-phase atoms and ions, is essential for atomic spectroscopy. The flame temperature required for atomization affects the efficiency of the atomic spectroscopic methods by increasing the atomization efficiency and the relative population of the excited and ground states.
At thermal equilibrium, the relative populations of excited and ground state atoms can be estimated using the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution. For example, an increase in temperature from...

Susceptibility, Permittivity and Dielectric Constant
When placed in an external electric field, a dielectric material gets polarized. The charge density in the dielectric material is given by the sum of the bound and free charge densities, while the total charge density can also be written in terms of the total electric field. The bound charge density can be measured in terms of polarization, leading to the relationship between electric displacement and polarization.
