Emanation thermal analysis

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003829",
  "term": "Emanation thermal analysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A thermal analysis technique that measures the release of radioactive gases, such as radon or thoron, from a solid sample as a function of temperature. The sample is doped with a radioactive precursor, and changes in the emanation rate indicate structural transformations or surface area changes. This method is particularly sensitive to phase transitions and sintering processes.",
