Project goal:
The main goal of this project is to systematically investigate and conduct research focused on controlling the crystallographic texture and morphology within the Ce-doped YAG/Al2O3 directionally solidified eutectic (DSE) ceramic, utilizing the Horizontal Directed Crystallization (HDC) method as the fabrication technique. Control over the crystallographic texture will be achieved through the deliberate implementation of seed, while the manipulation of morphology will be accomplished by ensuring input raw material and growth conditions. Deep investigation of crystalographic texture and morphology of prepared ceramic can led to find new structure and functional materials.
