Thermal Diffusivity of Diamond Wafers Deposited with Multicathode dc Plasma-Assisted CVD
A thermal diffusivity map for diamond wafers of 10-cm diameter was obtained using a converging thermal wave technique in a nondestructive and noncontact manner. Diamond wafers were deposited by seven-cathode d...

Microcalorimetry study of the monolayer4He ordering transition on single crystal graphite
We have developed a low-temperature, ac microcalorimeter for exploring adsorption on a single 2.25 mm2 graphite leaf that is capable of 10 picoJoule/degree resolution. The microcalorimeter was used to determine t...
