Thermal Diffusivity of AIN Using the Photothermal Deflection Technique

Abstract

The thermal conductivity of AIN specimens doped with Y2O3(5 wt.%) was determined using the photothermal deflection technique. The results agree within 10% of measurements previously made using the laser flash method. Thermal measurements on as-fired thin (0.5 mm to 0.8 mm) substrates revealed the presence of a surface layer of thermal conductivity approximately 50% lower than the interior of the sample.
