 @article{floyd_lowum_maria_2019, title={Instrumentation for automated and quantitative low temperature compaction and sintering}, volume={90}, ISSN={["1089-7623"]}, DOI={10.1063/1.5094040}, abstractNote={This report describes the design, operation, and capabilities of a semiautomated uniaxial press with in situ measurement of platen displacements designed to facilitate, understand, and improve compaction and densification of particulate materials contained in conventional metal dies under modest temperatures. While not exclusive to one implementation, the instrumentation is particularly well-suited to study cold sintering. The instrumentation shares similarities to dilatometry, given the ability to monitor pellet compaction, and calorimetry, given the ability to monitor phase transitions by their molar volume signatures. Pursuant to these similarities, we refer to this device as a sinterometer. A critical benefit to this automation is a new ability to conduct experiments unattended for indefinite amounts of time under constant pressure while collecting quantitative data. We demonstrate densification profile computation (i.e., sintegram) using this instrument, including methods to account for the thermal expansion background of the metal die. A set of examples are provided where this stable and long-term data collection allows one to identify densification mechanisms and phase transformations that occur during cold sintering, which would be extremely time consuming, or impossible, to extract using a conventional, manual press.}, number={5}, journal={REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS}, author={Floyd, Richard and Lowum, Sarah and Maria, Jon-Paul}, year={2019}, month={May} }

The experiments suggest that mass transport through solution is a primary densification mechanism and that either a pre-loaded solution or grain dissolution can supply migrating ions. Additionally, results indicate cold sintering zinc oxide requires a critical pressure value, above which densification is relatively pressure independent under the majority of process conditions. This critical pressure is related to thermal expansion of the liquid and determines the uniaxial pressure threshold for densification. The data supports a three-stage interpretation of cold sintering, which includes quick compaction, grain rearrangement, and dissolution-reprecipitation events. Further, it is observed that under the lowest temperature conditions a net decrease in particle size can occur during the cold sintering process.}, number={8}, journal={Journal of the American Ceramic Society}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Kang, Xiaoyu and Floyd, Richard and Lowum, Sarah and Cabral, Matthew and Dickey, Elizabeth and Maria, Jon‐Paul}, year={2019}, month={Feb}, pages={4459–4469} }
