Our new project entitled "Field-Tailoring Science and Technology for Novel Materials Synthesis" has been funded by DoE.听
This project is to advance the science and technology of materials fabrication in magnetic fields via听magneto-synthesis.听听The project consists of two parts:听听1.听We will develop an innovative听Field-Tailoring Technology (FTT)听that utilizes a laser molten/floating zone furnace听coupled with a superconducting magnet to synthesize materials that are inaccessible via existing techniques.听听2.听听We will establish a novel program of research to advance our fundamental understanding of the key processes and mechanisms of magneto-synthesis.听
