The principle of the adaptation consists in the modified in relation to the original method, development of the characteristics of temperature changes between boundary surfaces of a flat-parallel specimen after the laser shot onto its front surface. The application of this adaptation was illustrated with investigation into thermal diffusivity of nickel (99.9% wt) in the temperature range of 20-380◦C. In all cases the measurement error was less than 3%, and the averaging interval for the measured values of thermal diffusivity was not greater than 1.2 K.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Adaptation of the modified pulse method for determination of thermal diffusivity of solids in the vicinity of the second-order phase transition points}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/94413/PDF/05_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/aoter-2013-0011}, keywords={thermal properties, Flash methods, Thermal diffusivity, Nickel}, }
