The total emissivity of four samples of silicon of different resistivities is measured in the temperature range 880-1550 K. The emissivity depends on carrier concentration in the silicon samples. As the temperature increases the emissivity increases, shows a maximum at about 950 K and then starts decreasing. After showing a broad minimum at about 1200 K, it starts increasing again. The actual values of the emissivity vary from about 0·42 to 0·78 depending upon the temperature and the resistivity of the sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
