Abstract
The potential of micro/nano structures in regulating thermal radiation for infrared stealth, radiation cooling, and energy harvesting has attracted significant research interest. However, the radiation from optical components and the surrounding environment poses a challenge to the accurate measurement of thermal radiation of micro/nano samples in laboratory environments. In this study, a background-separated spectral emissivity measurement method was designed, employing two standard reference samples to isolate the sample background and optical component background from the measurement signal of the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Accurate measurement of infrared spectral emissivity was achieved by analyzing the temperature variations of the sample and optical component backgrounds. To validate this method, a Pt/Cr/Si emitter was designed and fabricated. The measured spectral emissivity of the micro/nano sample was consistent with the simulation results, demonstrating the effectiveness of the background-separated emissivity measurement method. This study provides an effective approach for measuring the spectral emissivity of micro/nano samples above room temperature and separating the thermal radiation background during the measurement process.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
