*While Sipkens et al. [60] developed a heat transfer model for silver, recent work [44] has cast doubt on its utility, as the pyrometrically inferred temperatures in this study are unlikely to correspond to the true temperature because of potential interference from emission other than LII (see Sect. 3.2).
