Abstract

Errors are noted in two publications on the theory for Mirage-effect measurements of the thermal diffusivity of materials. The works include theory for interpreting Mirage experiments on homogeneous samples mounted on a support with ambient (typically air) above and theory for interpreting Mirage experiments on coated substrates with ambient both above and below.
