Two-color Time-domain Thermoreflectance (TDTR)
Two-color time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) is a cutting-edge technique used to measure thermal transport properties at the nanoscale. By utilizing two different wavelengths of laser light, this method precisely detects changes in the reflectance of a material as it is heated and cooled. The resulting data provides critical insights into thermal conductivity and diffusivity, which are essential for the development of modern technologies such as nanoelectronics and thin-film coatings. These applications demand materials with optimized thermal properties to ensure efficient heat dissipation and performance.
