16. The experimental method described here is currently being used for the study of solid-solid high-temperature (T2000 K) transitions in carbides. Although this investigation gives promising outcomes, it is too early to show results which are still being analyzed.

20. The fact of having a measurement of the thermal radiation at several different wavelengths for the same temperature can be exploited also to obtain the true temperature through wavelength-correlation functions, as reported in Ref.. This method yields better statistics on the measured temperatures, as well as an analytical check of the λ dependence of emissivity.
