Pulse method of measuring the thermal diffusivity and the specific heat of small semiconductor specimens

A pulse method is described by which the thermal diffusivity and the specific heat can be measured with a bead microthermistor, a carbon bolometer, and a heater film. The thermal conductivities of several semiconductor and dielectric materials have been thus determined.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 22, No. 5, pp. 829–834, May, 1972.
