Precise Measurement of Thermophysical Properties of Soft Crystals and the Understanding of Phase Transitions using Thermal Imaging Technique
Research Outline
Based on the precise measurements of thermo-physical properties of soft crystals during phase transitions, coupled with the thermo-spectroscopic imaging in Infrared wavebands, the unique thermal properties peculiar to the soft crystals are examined. Specifically, (1) the micro-nano scale temperature wave method utilizing the photo-thermal effect induced by the focused laser light input, (2) the simultaneous measurements of thermo-spectroscopy and the fluorescent spectroscopy, (3) the high-resolution ATR-IR imaging and nano-scale FTIR, and (4) the inelastic light and X-ray scattering method for the group velocity of phonon, will be applied to the measurement of anisotropic thermophysical properties, such as thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity, induced by the external stimulation of light and the mechanical force fields. The relationship between the nano-micro scale molecular anisotropy and the thermal diffusion are the targeted topics to be examined.
