related to thermal effects, TG/DTG measured mass changes due
to evaporation, decomposition, and interaction with the furnace
atmosphere. To the DSC, a sample was placed with a typically
empty reference crucible into a furnace and heated at a constant
heating rate. The crucibles were placed on a heat flux sensor. The
difference in the heat flow between the sample crucible and the
empty reference crucible is the measured signal used to determine
the properties of the targeted material
