Boris Wilthan (Assoc)
Physicist
Boris Wilthan is currently working on the design, implementation and enhancement of data capture procedures for a database on thermophysical properties of metals and alloys. (http://trc.nist.gov/metals_data, DOI: 10.18434/M32153)
His experimental expertise includes:
- characterization of high temperature carbon eutectic fixpoints by radiometric methods
- determination of high temperature thermophysical properties of metals with a microsecond pulse-heating method and differential scanning calorimetry
- measurement of optical properties (reflectance and emittance) in the visible, near, and mid IR with integrating spheres, FTIR radiance comparison methods, and microsecond laser polarimetry
- calibration and characterization of filters, detectors, paints, and coatings in the IR
