Study of Thin Film Thermocouples : developed by using Anodic Vacuum Arc Technique

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the reliability of anodic vacuum arc plasma deposition technique in developing thin film thermocouples. This thesis presents a detailed description of the preparation and characterization of nanocrystalline thin films of Cu, Ni, Fe, Constantan, Chromel and Alumel, and their subsequent pairs as thin film thermocouples.
