Photothermal wave propagation in media with thermal memory

Abstract: Generalized expressions of photothermal wave propagation are derived, including the thermal memory effects. The focus is on optically opaque solids. The models of photothermal spectra based on the suggested descriptions are discussed for a semi-infinite sample and two limiting cases of backing—an ideal insulator and an ideal conductor backing. The results are compared with previous models.

“…It is important to observe that for low frequencies (ωτ 1) the parameter χ tends to unity and the parameter p approaches its classical value p c = (1 + i)/μ [16,17]. On the other hand, for high frequencies (ωτ 1), the parameter χ tends to 1/ √ 2ωτ and the parameter p → (1 + i2ωτ )/2 √ ατ , whose real part is independent of the modulation frequency and, therefore, it predicts that the hyperbolic thermal waves are able to travel larger distances than the parabolic ones predicted by Fourier's law.…”

“…3 establishes that the heat flux q(x, t) at a certain time t depends on the history of the temperature gradient established in the whole time interval from −∞ to t. This indicates that the heat flux has thermal memory, a consequence of the finite value of the thermal relaxation time [17]. In this way, Eq.…”

“…The development of these experimental techniques has caused the advance of different detection schemes, but theoretical models as well-the ones that help interpret and analyze various experimental data. Classical theories of the PA thermoelastic bending [3][4][5][6][7] have ignored implicitly, until now, the fact that the heat propagation velocity in solids is finite and that the thermal relaxation time does not equal zero [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], thus neglecting the presence of thermal memory properties [11,12] because they use classical heat conduction theory. There are several exceptions among models coping with the direct PA effect [18] and PT thermoelastic bending [19,20], which are based on some of the generalized theories of thermoelasticity [14][15][16][17], removing the nonphysicality of classical Fourier's theory of heat conduction [8].…”
