Abstrakt: The thermal diffusivity of NiO pellets was determined by the photoacoustic technique. A NiO powder, with a purity of 99.95 %, was pressed into pellets 10 mm in diameter. The average agglomerate size of the NiO powder was 50 μm and the size of individual particles was between 1 and 10 μm. The pressing pressure was 1.5 GPa and the sintering temperature was 1100 °C. The sintering time was between 15 and 240 min. The photoacoustic phase and amplitude spectra of NiO were measured as a function of the modulating frequency, using a transmission detection configuration. Thermal diffusivity, DT, the coefficient of minority carrier diffusion, their mobility and life time, and front and rear recombinating velocities were calculated as a function of sintering time by comparing the experimental results with theoretical photoacoustic phase and amplitude signals. The thermal diffusivity increases from 0.67 · 10−5to 0.97 · 10−5m2/s when the sintering time was changed from 15 to 240 minutes.
