Processing and Microstructure

Nanocrystalline Ceramics

Abstract

The microstructure is defined by the type, crystal structure, number, shape and topological arrangement of phases and defects such as point defects, dislocations, stacking faults or grain boundaries in a crystalline material (Gleiter 1996). Nanocrystalline materials are polycrystalline solids with grain sizes below 100 nm (Gleiter 1989). Grains as well as pores, interfaces and other defects are of similar dimensions (see Fig. 4.1). This nano-specific microstructure (nanostructure) leads to chemical and physical size effects. The coincidence of methods for the synthesis of large quantities of such materials, new methods of analysis (e.g. HRTEM or STM), and the original idea of Gleiter that with the compaction of nanoparticles, novel materials with interesting microstructure and properties can be expected, provided the basis for the broad research field ‘nano-materials’ which has increased enormously over the last decade.
