Instrumentation for Studies of Fundamental Issues in Microwave Processing of Nanograin Ceramics

Abstract

The equipment purchased is intended to greatly enhance the diagnostics capabilities, and will be used to investigate several fundamental issues related to the effects of microwaves on diffusion, grain growth, and energy deposition within porous polycrystalline and single-crystal ceramic materials, including nanograin ceramics. The following items were acquired, delivered, installed and are in use in our laboratories: (1) Thermal conductivity system; (2) Vector network analyzer; (3) Microhardness tester; (4) Stereo microscope.
