Investigation into X-point emissivity in metallic materials for temperature measurement by Gangquan Wang, Yinxue Bai, Naiya Yan, Longfei Li, Kaihua Zhang, Baolin Zhao, Yufang Liu, Kun Yu

“…The results demonstrate that: (1) the simulation of X-point emissivity is achieved for the first time by the incorporation of the Lorentz-Drude model of electron-phonon scattering. (2) Validation of the model's feasibility is demonstrated by the measurement of the X-point emissivity of tungsten, and the inaugural measurement of vanadium's X-point emissivity. (3) Pioneeringly, X-point emissivity finds application in metal temperature measurement, exhibiting an accuracy 0.3 % superior to that of pyrometers. …”
