Emissivity modeling of metals has been developed to elucidate behavior during the growth of oxide film, and the modeling results have been compared with experimental results. To express emissivities, pseudo-optical constants of a bare metal and of an oxide film obtained by an elipsometer are substituted into the model equations. Emissivity behavior during the growth of an oxide film upon the surface of a specimen is shown in terms of spectral, directional, and polarized characteristics, and it coincides with the experimental results, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The modeling is simple and provides useful guidance for the development of emissivity-compensated radiation thermometry.
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.
