Double Ellipsoid Image Furnace for Growth of Ceramic Single Crystals

小行星9724625 位于奥斯汀的德克萨斯大学将获得一台光学浮区成像炉，用于生长复杂的难熔氧化物和氧化锰晶体。 该熔炉将是该大学正在建立的材料研究所监督下的设施的一部分。 它将用于生长存在窄带现象的材料，包括高温氧化铜超导体和表现出“巨大”磁阻的氧化锰。 %该设备将支持一个具有重大动力的高度热门领域的研究。 它还将使人们能够继续强调和培训大块晶体生长技术。 ***

9724625 Goodenough An optical float zone, image furnace will be acquired by the University of Texas at Austin for the growth of complex refractory oxide and manganese oxide crystals. The furnace will be part of a facility under the oversight of a Materials Institute that the University is in the process of establishing. It will be used to grow materials where narrow-band phenomena are present, including high temperature copper oxide superconductors and manganese oxides exhibiting "colossal" magnetoresistance. %%% The equipment will support research in a highly topical field with significant momentum. It will also enable continued emphasis and training in bulk crystal growth techniques. ***
