Functional Properties Group
|
Welcome
The Functional Properties Group develops and disseminates measurement science, measurement standards, and measurement technology pertaining to the measurement of all functional properties of advanced materials and devices, including chemical, electrical, thermal, optical, and magnetic properties. The Group also determines and disseminates key data needed to establish the relationships between structure, functional properties, and performance of inorganic and hybrid materials and devices. The activities of the Functional Properties Group are carried out in three project areas: Combinatorial Measurement Methods, Nanocalorimetry, and Thermoelectric Measurements and Standards. Programs/Projects
Combinatorial Measurement Methods for Inorganic Materials—Our goal is to develop novel, combinatorially-compatible measurement methods and metrologies, as well as comprehensive and consistent data sets, that will enable manufacturers of devices based on … Measurements and Standards for Thermoelectric Materials—Our goal is to develop standard reference materials (SRMs), measurement methodologies, and comprehensive data sets (Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity) for thin film … Carbon Mitigation—The goal of this project is to identify and develop standards and measurement methods currently needed by the energy industry to enable the development of cost efficient carbon mitigation … Nanocalorimetry Measurements—To develop nanocalorimetry as a method for measuring heats of reaction of nanoscale samples with nanojoule sensitivity in order to detect reactions and quantify reaction thermodynamics and kinetics … |
