Zr-Cu-Al metallic glasses were formulated with differing compositions to determine their thermophysical properties. It was determined that by decreasing the zirconium content of the metallic glass, the thermal conductivity can be increased. The maximum value of thermal conductivity was found for the metallic glass with ...
In this study, a sensor measured the thermal conductivity of molten indium antimonide (InSb) using the transient plane source (TPS) method. The measurements were taken during a 10 m short-duration microgravity drop. Results showed that the thermal conductivities of molten InSb were higher in normal gravity ...
The authors measured the thermal conductivity of a couple molten metals, namely bismuth and tin. This was accomplished by using a molybdenum sensor placed in between two aluminum nitride plates (to protect the molybdenum sensor from the high temperature of the molten metals. The thermal ...
Li2TiO3 single crystals were grown using the flux method. These crystals were then characterized by the TPS method for thermal conductivity and a variety of other methods in order to determine the density and composition of the crystals....
