Abstract

The utilization of a self-normalized photothermal (PT) technique for the measurement of thermal diffusivity in thin metal layers was investigated. The PT study was based on photothermal radiometry and gas-cell photoacoustic detection techniques. The PT technique was employed on the two commercial samples of aluminum and steel thin layers. The study developed a criteria which ascertained the domination of a purely thermal-diffusion wave mechanism throughout the selected frequency range.
