Abstract

The thermal properties of the nanocrystalline metal Ag (n-Ag), with the average grain size of 10 run, synthesized by an inert gas condensation and in situ compacting technique under different pressures of 0.2 to 1.5 GPa were studied. The thermal stable temperature for asprepared state is 373K, above which the grain growth appears at different rates. An exothermal peak and an endothermal peak occur on the DSC curves of the n-Ag. The enthalpy of both peaks are dependent upon the compacting pressure. Tht enhancement of the specific heat in going from the polycrystalline to the nanocrystalline state varies between 5.4% and 3.6% in the temperature range of 380K to 540K. The thermal diffusivity at room temperature increases with grain growth, and approaches to the corresponding value of the polycrystalline Ag.
