Research on Measurement Technology for Thermal Properties of Advanced Thin Films and Fibers

Thermal expansion coefficients and elastic constants of thin films and fibers are fairly obtained though few data have been measured due to their small size. One end of a specimen is fixed and another is held at a carriage on three ceramic balls. Thermal expansion of the specimen is measured using an optical heterodyne interferometer with two mirrors on the holders. Measurements for high-strength organic fibers, amorphous metal foils, diamond films and so forth are being carried out.
