热处理在制造过程中起着重要的作用 电子和光学材料。 几个新问题将在 探索，包括以下内容：热诱导不稳定性 在热处理半导体的固-液界面处， 薄膜，微尺度热辐射现象引起的亚， 多层结构的波长膜厚度、热的 多层膜结构的爆炸结晶分析 例如Si-Ni，以及传热和流体流动研究 与光纤制造相关的现象。 电子和光学产品的质量和制造的容易性 材料通常由热处理控制。 本研究 将弥合制造和加热之间的专业知识差距差距 转移工程，并将试图取代试验， 在当今美国工业中如此突出的错误方法。

Thermal processing plays an important role during the manufacturing of electronic and optical materials. Several new issues are to be explored, including the following: thermally induced instabilities at the solid-liquid interface of thermally processed semiconducting films, microscale thermal radiation phenomena induced by the sub- wavelength film thickness of multilayer structures, thermal analysis of explosive crystallization of multilayer film structures such as Si-Ni, and investigation of heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena associated with the manufacturing of optical fibers. The quality and ease of manufacture of electronic and optical materials are often controlled by thermal processes. This research will bridge the gap in expertise between manufacturing and heat transfer engineering, and will attempt to supplant the trial and error methods so prominent in American industry today.
