Abstract

We review the theory and applications of the photoacoustic and related methods belonging to the general area of photothermal measurement techniques. This essay is intended for researchers especially unfamiliar with the basic ideas and potentialities of this rapidly developing field. The applications of photothermal techniques include spectroscopic applications, such as infrared and microwave spectroscopies, monitoring of non-radiative deexcitation processes, biological applications, and measurements of thermal properties.

Thermoelastic component of photoacoustic response calculated by the fractional dual-phase-lag heat conduction theory
2024, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer
This paper analyzes the influence of the anomalous diffusive effects caused by micro-scale heterogeneity and kinetic and inertial thermal relaxations on the optically induced thermoelastic bending component of the photoacoustic response. We calculated the temperature distribution for a one-dimensional heat transfer problem with planar and periodic excitation, neglecting the influence of thermoelastic strains on the temperature profile. Thermoelastic bending was evaluated using a theoretical approximation of a thin plate, while pressure fluctuations in the photoacoustic cell were obtained by assuming adiabatic changes in the closed air. The model analysis shows that the relaxation processes could significantly affect the mechanical piston component of the photoacoustic response at frequencies higher than the minima of the inverse of two thermal relaxation times, while the influence of micro-scale heterogeneity is observable in the whole frequency range.
Temperature profile and thermal piston component of photoacoustic response calculated by the fractional dual-phase-lag heat conduction theory
2023, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer
We present the temperature distribution predictions for photothermal systems by considering an extension of dual-phase lag. It is an extension of the GCE-II and GCE-III models with a fractional dual-phase lag from kinetic relaxation time. Solving the one-dimensional problem considering a planar and periodic excitation, we obtained the temperature distribution and the Photoacoustic (PA) signal for the transmission setup. We also analyze the effects of fractional order derivatives and kinetic relaxation time. It is shown that the derived models have promising results that could be used to explain the experimentally observed behavior of PA signals measured on thin films with an inhomogeneous internal structure.
Moore-Gibson-Thompson theory of a non-local excited semiconductor medium with stability studies
2022, Alexandria Engineering Journal
The present study introduces a theoretical framework according to the Moore-Gibson-Thompson (MGT) Model in the context of generalized thermoelasticity theory. The excited semiconductor material is utilized to formulate the governing equations in one dimensional (1D) with a non-local parameter. According to the photo- thermoelasticity theory, the overlapping between the electronic (optical) deformation and elastic deformation is taken into account. During the photo-excitation processes, the non-local equation of motion and the heat equation is introduced according to the model of Moore-Gibson-Thompson (MGT). The novel model describes the interaction between plasma and thermomechanical waves in a non-dimensional form. Laplace transform for time variable is applied to convert the governing equations into system of ordinary differential equations. The vector-matrix differential equation with the eigenvalues approach method is employed to obtain the solutions of the physical quantities analytically. Laplace transform invers numerically is utilized when some boundary conditions are applied at the semiconductor free surface to obtain the complete general of the main physical quantities. The numerical computations for the input parameters of Silicon as semiconductor material are used to illustrate the obtained results graphically and discussed.
Development of fast photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging system based on slider-crank scanner for small animals and humans study
2022, Expert Systems with Applications
Integrated photoacoustic and ultrasound (PAUS) imaging is a potential imaging method that provides simultaneous in vivo functional, and anatomical information. Several PAUS scanner systems have already been reported, but they are limited to fixed scanning range, low scanning speed, bulky size, unsustainable for long-term use. Here, we report a low-cost fast dual photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging system (F-PAUSM) based on custom-made slider-crank and ball-screw mechanisms. This custom-slider-crank mechanism is versatile in terms of changing the scanning range corresponding to a suitable B-scan frame rate for difference scanning areas. F-PAUSM allows us to stably capture wide scanning ranges of 10, 18, and 26 mm corresponding to maximum B-scan frame rates of 30, 26, and 18 Hz, respectively. To demonstrate the capability of the F-PAUSM system, a dragonfly wing, nude mouse ear, and human fingertip are imaged successfully. Furthermore, the numerical analysis is conducted to estimate the fatigue life of the custom-made mechanical parts, then demonstrate that the F-PAUSM system can operate stably for long time in nominal operating conditions. These results demonstrate the potential applications of the F-PAUSM system in biomedical imaging.
Use neural network in photoacoustic measurement of thermoelastic properties of aluminum foil
2022, Measurement: Journal of the International Measurement Confederation
The objective of this paper is to present methodology of the precise and reliable determination of thermal diffusivity and linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the photoacoustic signal recorded (obtained) using open photoacoustic cell where thickness of the sample served as a control parameter. The methodology was based on the application of neural networks that were trained on numerical experiments and optimized by adding Gaussian noise to the training base that corresponded in percentage to maximum measurement uncertainty. By comparing the predictions of the neural network with theoretical fitting curve for experimental results for the aluminum sample that was 197 μm thick, it was shown that the proposed methodology achieves high precision in the determination of thermoelastic and geometrical properties of the sample.
Novel binder for NbC-based cemented carbides prepared by spark plasma sintering
2022, International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials
The most advanced alternative to replace cobalt in cemented carbides is alloys based on the Fe-Ni-Co system due to their similar or superior properties to conventional Co-binder. However, recently, successful cermet alloys with Fe-Ni-Nb as a binder have been reported. In this work, cemented carbides NbC-10% wt Fe-Ni-Nb were prepared by solid state pulsed electrical current sintering (PECS), also known as spark plasma sintering (SPS), for 5 min, 40 MPa at temperatures 1280°C, 1300°C and 1350°C. The samples produced were investigated focusing on their structure, mechanical and thermal properties. All samples showed an increase in NbC crystallite size and n-phase formation. The processed NbC-FeNiNb cermet presented good densification and hardness of approximately 1726 HV30, fracture toughness 12.5 ± 0.1 MPa.m^1/2, Young's modulus 385 ± 4 GPa, which is shown as a viable alternative composite in applications cemented carbide such as cutting tools. However, these cermets could have even better properties, eliminating the intermetallic phase present in the matrix and decreasing its particle size. TG and DSC analysis confirmed the formation of a liquid phase and more carbides contributing to the mechanical properties of the composite. The thermal properties showed that the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity for NbC-FeNiNb was lower than for WC-Co carbide.
