Abstract
Different methods for adapting the laser flash technique to measure simultaneously specific heat have been proposed in the literature. Among them are the coating method, the absorbing disk method, the double-specimen method, the pulse heating-cooling method, and the cavity method. These methods are briefly reviewed, and their merits and demerits are evaluated.
