1.4.3.4.2. Capacitance methods

| top | pdf |

In a way similar to the interferometric methods, the change of the gap between the lower surface of P1 and the upper surface of P2 (Fig. 1.4.3.1[link]) is used to determine the thermal expansion of the sample. This gap – with electrically conducting surfaces – is used as the capacitance in an electric circuit with a fixed inductance. The change of capacitance leads to a change of resonance frequency, which is measured.
