The Thermal Analysis group is concerned with the experimental and theoretical characterisation of thermophysical properties (particularly thermal conductivity and diffusivity, enthalpy, specific heat, and thermal expansion) and the further development of the respective metrology. Their aim is to achieve a deeper understanding of heat transport processes in complex materials and systems. Also, the further development of existing measurement techniques and development of new measurement methods play an important role in meeting the new and ever more extreme requirements posed by modern materials.
A combination of highly developed analytical methods and theoretical know-how, furthermore, allows for the targeted identification of optimisation potential in the subject of investigation and for its tailoring to practical applications.
