Temperature Calibration of Differential Scanning Calorimeters
نویسنده
چکیده
A procedure for calibrating the temperature scale of a DSC is described. A different calibration trend was obtained using the transition points of organic compounds compared to that found using the melting points of highly pure metals. The crystal-crystal transitions of three ammonium salts were studied by this method; ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium sulphate were found to be suitable reference materials in the region -150 to 0°C, but ammonium nitrate was found to be unsuitable due to poorly defined transition points and inconsistent thermal behaviour.

In 2002 the first combined beam test of the hadronic and electromagnetic liquidargon endcap calorimeters of the ATLAS experiment took place at the SPS test beam at CERN. A total of 15 million events from electrons, muons and pions in the energy range from 6 to 200GeV were recorded. The entire calibration chain, from digital filter weights, over calibration constants, to clustering and energy we...

We have developed a new thin-film differential scanning calorimetry technique that has extremely high sensitivity of 0.2 nJ. By combining two calorimeters in a differential measurement configuration, we have measured the heat capacity and melting process of Sn nanostructures formed via thermal evaporation with deposition thickness down to 1 Å. The equivalent resolution of the calorimeter is 1 n...
