Flash Sintering of Oxide Ceramics under Microwave Heating

We report on the results of the analysis of the effect of flash sintering, which is observed upon heating compacted powder materials by high-intensity microwave radiation. Ceramic samples of Y₂O₃, MgAl₂O₄, and Yb: (LaO)₂O₃ were sintered to a density exceeding 98–99% of the theoretical value during 0.5–5 min without isothermal hold. The specific microwave power absorbed volumetrically in the samples was 20–400 W/cm³. Based on the analysis of the experimental data (microwave radiation power and heating and cooling rates) and of the microstructure of the obtained materials, we propose a mechanism of flash sintering based on the evolution of the thermal instability and softening (melting) of the grain boundaries. The proposed mechanism also explains the flash sintering effect observed when a dc or a low-frequency ac voltage is applied to the samples. The microwave heating makes it possible to implement flash sintering without using electrodes for supplying energy to the articles being sintered.     

Potential Advantages for Millimeter-Wave Heating of Powdered Metals

Based on electromagnetic induction heating, an interaction model of microwaves with powdered metal has been established.

The results of calculations show that millimeter waves may be able to overcome the obstacle caused by smaller skin depth and have strong advantages for the microwave heating of powdered metals. Experiments are done for comparison with present theory.

In high power laser system, laser mirror is the core and the most sensitive optical component, which influences the increase of laser power and the quality of laser. Absorption of light at mirrors causes wavefront distortions through the thermal deformations of substrates. The analytical solutions of the two-dimensional transient thermal theory of high power laser mirrors are developed, copious graphical results in our case are presented, and the predicted results are compared with those of the experiment.

Passive Millimeter-Wave Imaging

We briefly review the M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University developments on the millimeter-wave radio imaging using the super-resolution regime in systems comprising single-channel receivers and sensor arrays. A tenfold enhancement in the spatial resolution in the 8-mm range is achieved by the mathematical processing of some natural radio thermal scenes with allowance for the precisely measured point-spread function of the imaging system. It is shown that the super-resolution is limited by the signal-to-noise ratio of an observed scene.
