METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CHARACTERIZING SOLID MATERIALS, AND METHOD AND INSTALLATION FOR DETERMINING A THERMODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTIC OF PROBE MOLECULES

摘要

The invention proposes an improvement in the characterization of solid materials, by making it easier to be implemented while obtaining reliable and accurate results. According to the method in accordance with the invention; a material to be characterized (M), in powdery form is placed in a well (4); while the material (M) is heated up by applying a predetermined power (P), a radiative thermal flux (F) emitted by the material is measured, and from the measurements relating to the radiative thermal flux (F), a characterization of the material (M) is inferred, related to the heat which this material loses by thermal conduction with the walls of the well (4).
