Workshops
Joshua Martin, PhD
Research Physicist
Thermoreflectance Instrumentation and Methods
Thermoreflectance instruments are generally home-built; they can be difficult to construct, align, and maintain, especially for the novice. The goal of this workshop is to provide practical advice from a pool of institutional knowledge beyond theory. Speakers will share their insights and tips for optimizing thermoreflectance instrument design, methods, and data analysis. Topics will include common measurement techniques (TDTR, FDTR, SSTR), TR-MOKE, and advanced measurement configurations and applications.
Duration: Half-day
Ron Warzoha
Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering
Arbitrary Geometries and Confined Transducers
In this talk, I will discuss the integration of a numerical, least-squares fitting routine into conventional frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) measurements to extract the thermal properties of materials and the thermal boundary conductance across interfaces in samples with complex geometric features. The goal of this work is to demonstrate the utility of FDTR for (1) measuring the thermal properties of materials in-situ (i.e., in actual device architectures) and (2) improving the sensitivity of the technique to so-called “buried” interfaces. Critical insights into measurement sensitivity and uncertainty will be discussed, as well as practical limitations associated with such experiments. The presentation will end with a discussion of challenges associated with these measurements and the need for further refinement in future work.
