U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research: Real-Time Sintering and Reactions

该奖项支持Joanna Groza和加州大学戴维斯分校的学生与德国罗斯托克大学物理系的Eberhart Burkel的合作。国际项目的目的是研究纳米粉末的场激活烧结，这种烧结发生在暴露于微放电下。从技术上讲，电场的应用有明显的好处，比如提高烧结速度，控制和生产新的微观结构，减少加工步骤。这个美国小组正在进行一项研究计划，该计划已经在难烧结材料上取得了成果。该德国小组在开发和改进新的同步辐射研究方面处于领先地位，该研究利用同步辐射的非弹性散射进行非常高分辨率的研究。该研究将推进我们的知识场辅助烧结，特别是应用于纳米级粉末。该工作计划提供研究生广泛参与国际旅行和研究，该工作旨在为科学和工程教育提供见解，并为学生在日益相互依存的全球经济中工作做好准备。

0129176GrozaThis award supports Joanna Groza and students from the University of California-Davis in a collaboration with Eberhart Burkel of the Department of Physics at the University of Rostock, Germany. The aim of the international project is to study field-activated sintering of nanopowders, which occurs under exposure to microdischarges. Technologically, electric field application has distinct benefits, such as enhanced sintering rates, sontrol and production of novel microstructures, and fewer processing steps. The US group has an ongoing research program which has already achieved results on difficult-to-sinter materials. The German group is a leader in the development and improvement of new synchrotron radiation ingvestigation using inelastic scattering of synchrotron radiation with very high resolution. The research will advace our knowledge of field-assisted sintiering, particularly as applied to nanosized powders.. The work plan provides for extensive participation by graduate students in the international travel and research, the work is intended to offer insights into science and engineering education and prepare the students to work in an increasingly interdependent global economy.
