Heat loss through surrounding air has important thermal effect on microfabricated structures. This effect is generally modeled as a natural convection boundary condition. However, how to determine the convective coefficient (h) at microscales is a debate. In this paper, a micro heater is fabricated on a suspended thin film membrane. The natural convection is investigated using the 3-omega measurements and complex analytical modeling. It is found that h seems larger than that at larger scales; however, it is also proved that the increased h is actually contributed by heat conduction instead of heat convection. A method of determining the phenomenal h that can be used for microfabricated structures is proposed by using the heat conduction shape factor.

We have extended Haeberlen’s and Maier’s NMR investigation of the molecular rotation in solid polycrystalline benzene (C6H6), performed in 1967 in the Larmor frequency range from 88 MHz to 22 MHz, to lower frequencies down to 4.4 MHz. In some cases monocrystalline samples were also studied. The extensive data show that the presently accepted model of purely uncorrected rotations of the benzene molecules around their sixfold axis has to be rejected. Instead, two results found, namely- a slight increase of the rotational activation energy when approaching the melting point of benzene and- the width of the T1 relaxation minima as a function of the reciprocal temperature suggest an additional relevance of correlated molecular motions, like e.g. the ‘gear-wheel mechanism’ first proposed by Cox. By appropriate modifications of Haeberlen’s theory, i.e. by assuming a rate equation with temperature dependent activation energy and by emphasizing the effect of simultaneous rotations of neighbouring rings compared with the purely statistical, uncorrelated case, we succeeded to describe the considered T1 measurements quantitatively.
