Technical FAQs 4

What is the thermal conductivity of thin films?

Fitted functions were developed for fast data analysis of thermal conductivity of thin films in the range of ∼100–600 W m −1 K −1 and thickness between ∼50–300 nm deposited on the two types of substrates investigated in this work, which yielded results with a discrepancy of 6–16.7% when compared to the Au films' thermal conductivity values. 1.

Can thin film thermal conductivity be measured in non-contact mode?

In conclusion, a quantitative method was established to measure thin film thermal conductivity in non-contact mode in ambient conditions and in transition heat conduction regime across the tip-sample gap.

How does 3dfem measure film thermal conductivity?

The newly developed 3DFEM captured the heat transport phenomena in the SThM probe with Joule heating, in the multilayer film-on-substrate sample, and through the gap between the probe and sample in the transition heat conduction regime. This numerical model was used to determine the film thermal conductivity for film on substrate samples.

What are thermal conductivity measurements using Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM)?

Thermal conductivity measurements using Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) usually involve heat transfer across the mechanical contact and liquid meniscus between the thermal probe and the sample.
