Abstract
The theory of modulation calorimetry is simple and straightforward. When the power heating the sample is modulated by a sine wave and equals p 0 + psinĪt, the temperature of the sample starts to oscillate around a mean value T 0. Clearly, the amplitude of the temperature oscillations depends on the heat capacity of the sample. This is the basic point discovered by O.M.Corbino about a century ago.
