For 10 points, identify this technique of measuring the heat evolved in a reaction that can be carried out in a "bomb" device.
One form of this technique is used for reactions in which the binding constant is less than ten-to-the-ninth inverse molar, and follows a titration-like stepwise addition of a ligand to produce a sigmoidal curve for the variable of interest. Another form of this technique, which is useful in analyzing point defects and phase transitions in metals, involves passing an oscillating current. In that "AC modulation" approach for this technique, the phase shift for the variable of interest is related to relaxation time for three objects. In addition to those variants, it can also be performed in a "differential scanning" type in which both the analyte and a reference sample see their temperature change at a constant rate. It is performed in closed systems in which no matter is exchanged with the environment, and is conducted at constant temperatures or pressures.
