    The thermal conductivity of CaSrFe2O6-δ, an oxygen-deficient perovskite, is a critical parameter for understanding its thermal transport properties and potential applications in energy conversion and electronic devices. In this study, we present an investigation of the thermal conductivity of CaSrFe2O6-δ at room temperature for its thermal insulation property study. Experimental measurement was conducted using a state-of-the-art thermal characterization technique, Thermtest thermal conductivity meter. The thermal conductivity of CaSrFe2O6-δ was found to be 0.574W/m/K, exhibiting a notable thermal insulation property.

    CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ, an oxygen-deficient perovskite, had been reported for its better electrocatalytic properties of oxygen evolution reaction. It is essential to investigate different properties such as the thermal conductivity of such efficient functional materials. The thermal conductivity of CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ is a critical parameter for understanding its thermal transport properties and potential applications in energy conversion and electronic devices. In this study, the authors present an investigation of the thermal conductivity of CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ at room temperature for its thermal insulation property study. Experimental measurement was conducted using a state-of-the-art thermal characterization technique, Thermtest thermal conductivity meter. The thermal conductivity of CaSrFe0.75Co0.75Mn0.5O6-δ was found to be 0.724 W/m/K at 25 °C, exhibiting a notable thermal insulation property i.e., low thermal conductivity.

    Abstract

    Thermal emission is the radiation of electromagnetic waves from hot objects. The promise of thermal‐emission engineering for applications in energy harvesting, radiative cooling, and thermal camouflage has recently led to renewed research interest in this topic. However, accurate and precise measurements of thermal emission in a laboratory setting can be challenging in part due to the presence of background emission from the surrounding environment and the measurement instrument itself. This problem is especially acute for thermal emitters that have unconventional temperature dependence, operate at low temperatures, or are out of equilibrium. In this paper, general procedures are described, recommended, and demonstrated for thermal‐emission measurements that can accommodate such unconventional thermal emitters.

    Abstract

    Thermal rectification is an exotic thermal transport phenomenon which allows heat to transfer in one direction but block the other. We demonstrate an unusual dual-mode solid-state thermal rectification effect using a heterogeneous “irradiated-pristine” polyethylene nanofiber junction as a nanoscale thermal diode, in which heat flow can be rectified in both directions by changing the working temperature. For the nanofiber samples measured here, we observe a maximum thermal rectification factor as large as ~50%, which only requires a small temperature bias of <10 K. The tunable nanoscale thermal diodes with large rectification and narrow temperature bias open up new possibilities for developing advanced thermal management, energy conversion and, potentially thermophononic technologies.

    Thermal accumulation effect has proved to reduce ablation threshold and improve the ablation rate during multi-pulse ultrafast laser ablation. It was widely believed that this effect cannot be triggered until the laser repetition rate is raised to the megahertz range. In this Letter, we experimentally discover strong thermal accumulation in fused silica at kilohertz repetition rates and its significant contribution to enhance ablation rate. It is found that the threshold repetition rates to trigger thermal accumulation are intrinsically determined by material thermal diffusivity and insensitive to ambient conditions. We observe two-fold enhancement of the ablation rate and clearly discriminate the contribution from thermal and non-thermal accumulation effects by 35% and 50%–70%, respectively. A multi-physics model is developed to assist the understanding of the process. This Letter promotes the fundamental understanding of thermal/non-thermal accumulation effects and opens the door to low-repetition-rate thermal accumulation for low thermal diffusivity materials.
