UC DavisELECTRICAL FIELD ENHANCED SINTERING AND REACTIONSABSTRACTThe application of an electrical field has been shown to influence a variety of materials processes such as crystal defect motion, crystal nucleation and growth, evaporation and oxidation processes. At UCD, electrical field/current application has been used to enable distinctive processing features such as enhanced sintering of powders (minutes as compared to hours in conventional sintering), synthesis of ceramic compounds (e.g., FeCr2S4 synthesized in January 27, 2006
