experimental physics - Measurements for thermal diffusivity of graphene?


We have known for a long time that graphene has in-plane thermal conductivity ranging between 2000 and 4000 $W m^{-1} K^{-1}$. But in order to model heat transport on a sheet of graphene, we need more than the conductivity: we also need specific heat in order to obtain the thermal diffusivity that is used in the equation.


I couldn't find any measurement results online for this quantity. I've only seen some crude estimates based on phonon transport, but even so, no specific figures.

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
