Temperature Sensitive Optical Phenomena in Heavy Metal Halide Films.
Abstract
Films of PbI2 and HgI2 have been deposited on thin polymer and glass substrates. The thermal properties of the film materials were measured by a thermographic method to obtain thermal conductivity, heat diffusivity, and specific heat of the film materials. The temperature dependence of the absorption edge was measured between 0 C and 50 C for both materials and ranging down to -175 C for PbI2. These properties are needed in order to evaluate the potential application of each material as an absorption-edge-modulated transducer for thermal imaging.
