Key components of our testing setup are (i) a measuring chamber where the TEM/material is compressed between thermally shielded heating blocks equipped with a mechanical loading system and water-cooled copper-based cooler, ii)an electrical load system,(iii)a type K thermocouple array connected to a data acquisition computer, and(iv) a thermostatic water-based cooling system with electronically controlled flow rate and temperature of cooling water.
