Optical measurement of thermal diffusivity in strongly correlated materials
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this dissertation, we discuss the importance of thermal diffusivity in the study of the incoherent transport in strongly correlated systems. We introduce a non-contact optical thermal microscope with superior spatial and angular resolution that directly extract the thermal diffusivity of materials. We present measurements in various cuprate materials, both hole- and electron- doped, as representative strongly correlated systems, and discuss how various aspects of the thermal diffusivity, combined with electrical transport measurements, can provide insight to the transport of the so called bad metals. We also discuss the the role complex insulator plays in the understanding of incoherent transport and quantum chaos in strongly correlated materials.
