Herein, the impact of AC and DC electric fields on microstructure evolution in strontium
titanate is investigated. The focus is on nonthermal effects by using current‐blocking …

The impact of DC electric fields on grain growth in strontium titanate is investigated between
1350° C and 1550° C for fields of up to 50 V/mm. To prevent joule heating by electrical …

This study investigates grain growth in the perovskite oxide strontium titanate in an electric
field. The seeded polycrystal technique was chosen as it provides a sensitive and controlled …

Abstract Ultrafast High-temperature Sintering (UHS) is a novel sintering process enabling
extremely high heating rates by direct contact of sample to electrically heated thin carbon …

During thermal annealing at 1425° C nominal electric field strengths of 50 V/mm and 150
V/mm were applied along the grain boundary planes of a near 45º (100) twist grain …

A grain growth anomaly in Ti-rich strontium titanate ceramics is reported. Here we show that
three discontinuities on the temperature dependence of grain growth take place with drops …

The effect of DC electric field on sintering, and on the electrical conductivity of undoped
rutile, TiO 2 (99.99%), has been investigated at fields ranging from 0 V to 1000 V/cm. The …

X-ray analysis of the near-surface region of as-cut single-crystalline strontium titanate 001
wafers showed a reversible electric field-induced structure change at room temperature. To …

Flash sintering involves very rapid densification of ceramic powder compacts during a
thermal runaway induced by an applied voltage and current. The mechanisms of fast …

Dense (> 96% theoretical) strontium titanate ceramics were fabricated at 950° C
(conventional sintering temperature> 1400° C) using a reactive intermediate phase cold …
