Summary

Using the thermal excitation of a sample with a plane-surface heater at frequency f and the observation of the 3f thermal response of this metal element, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity and the specific heat of fused silica have been determined over a wide temperature range. For measurements on electrically conducting solids, a technique for preparation of a dielectric insulating magnesium oxide film has been developed. A theoretical model is discussed, that allows to investigate also layered structures. Applying this model, the thermal effusivity of the upper polymethylmetacrylate layer of a polymethylmetacrylate-aluminum system and the effusivity of the substrate in a magnesium oxide stainless-steel system has been measured.
