The Materials Map is an open tool for improving networking and interdisciplinary exchange within materials research. It enables cross-database search for cooperation and network partners and discovering of the research landscape.

The dashboard provides detailed information about the selected scientist, e.g. publications. The dashboard can be filtered and shows the relationship to co-authors in different diagrams. In addition, a link is provided to find contact information.

Materials Map under construction

The Materials Map is still under development. In its current state, it is only based on one single data source and, thus, incomplete and contains duplicates. We are working on incorporating new open data sources like ORCID to improve the quality and the timeliness of our data. We will update Materials Map as soon as possible and kindly ask for your patience.

Abstract

Ceramics of ZnAl 2O 4 (ZA) and 0.79ZnAl 2O 4-0.21Mn 2TiO 4 (ZAMT) were prepared by the mixed oxide route using hot pressing and spark plasma sintering (SPS) techniques. Sintering temperatures were 1300°C in all cases; hot-pressed samples were held at peak temperature for 1 h, the SPS samples for 5 min. Sintered densities were at least 98% theoretical for the SPS samples. ZnAl 2O 4 prepared by SPS was single phase; all other samples contained minor amounts of second phase. Grain sizes for ZnAl 2O 4 were typically 200-500 nm, but 2-5 μm for ZAMT. FTIR spectra for all the samples include Al-O bend mode band at ∼450 cm -1. The microwave dielectric properties of the ZA-SPS (ε r = 8.7; Qxf = 57 000 GHz) were comparable with conventionally produced samples; the dielectric properties of the ZAMT-SPS (ε r = 9.6; Qxf = 30 630 GHz) were superior to conventionally produced ceramics. The SPS approach yielded high density, high quality dielectric ceramics at lower sintering temperatures and much reduced processing times. © 2011 The American Ceramic Society.
