Interfacial Liquid Activated and Electrically Driven Ultrafast Sintering and Far From Equilibrium Microstructural Evolution

Abstract

This project investigates the field assisted and interfacial liquid activated materials processing, including ultrafast sintering and far from equilibrium microstructural evolution. The scientific objectives are (1) understanding and subsequently controlling the microstructural evolution under coupled thermal, electric, and chemical (liquid-vapor-gas) influences; (2) establishing the fundamental science of the nonequilibrium interactions among applied electric fields, space charges, liquid like interfacial phases, and microstructural evolution; and (3) enabling the development of potentially transformative materials fabrication and microstructural control methods as well as the creation of nonequilibrium materials.
