Thermal diffusivity measurements for Mg-Mn ferrites

Abstract The thermal diffusivity of Mg-Mn ferrites is studied through a modified scheme of the photothermal deflection method able to derive the diffusivity of low-diffusivity samples and to avoid any influence of the vertical offset parameter. The examined samples have been realized under different preparation conditions producing different grain dimensions, and a negligible influence of the grain dimensions is found on the thermal properties.
