Abstract:
1. A heat flow flux type differential scanning calorimeter comprising: a heat reservoir configured to supply heat; a thermally conductive joint having opposite two ends, one end thereof constituting a heat inflow portion being in contact with the heat reservoir such that the joint receives heat from the heat reservoir via the heat inflow portion, and the other end thereof constituting a heat outflow portion being isolated from the heat reservoir and having two arcuate cutouts formed therein; a sensor plate being in contact with the heat outflow portion of the thermal joint except two peripheral portions surrounded by the two arcuate cutouts of the heat outflow portion, such that the two peripheral portions receive heat from the heat outflow portion through multiple heat flow paths in multiple directions extending from the arcuate cutouts of the heat outflow portion; and a sample holder and a reference material holder formed in the peripheral portions.
