Download or read book Microstructure evolution in strontium titanate Investigated by means of grain growth simulations and x-ray diffraction contrast tomography experiments written by Syha, Melanie and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the physical processes during fabrication and annealing of ceramic materials is a long sought goal among material scientists. Using strontium titanate as a model system for perovskite ceramics, the present work combines advanced non-destructive 3D characterization techniques and computational modeling of microstructure evolution in order to link grain morphology, interface anisotropy and microstructure evolution to macroscopic physical properties .
