The Linseis LZT Meter is the world’s first commercially available instrument that allows the determination of the thermoelectric Figure of Merrit ZT by means of a combined LaserFlash (LFA 1000) and LSR measurement in a single instrument.

Accordingly, an independent determination of the thermal conductivity by means of a flash method as well as a measurement of the electrical resistance and of the Seebeck-Coefficient (known from the LSR platform) can be carried out with this measuring device.

The advantage is obvious: The integrated design can save both, expensive laboratory space and unnecessary costs for double furnaces, measuring electronics and other equipment. Thus, the LZT-Meter is the ideal solution for research and development applications where the focus is not set on high sample throughput but on measurement quality and cost-efficiency. Because for the complete ZT-characterization of the sample, a single, disk-shaped geometry is completely sufficient.

An infrared furnace (for precise temperature control at very high and low heating rates) A low-temperature furnace for measurements down to -100°C A high-temperature furnace for measurements up to 1100°C The supplied software package offers the possibility to evaluate all measurement data in a user-friendly way and to use the optionally integrated Harman ZT model.
