Nucleation of electronic-crystal regions

Technique of improved ceramic-oxide crystal growth utilizes high viscosity solutions (glass or fused solvent). Compositions are selected on basis of technical importance, gravity sensitive properties, and apparent compatibility. Seeded fused-solvent technique uses bismuth germanate, lithium niobate or lead germanate.

Ignition Temperatures of Metals in Oxygen Atmospheres

The ignition temperature of ten common non-toxic metals has been determined experimentally in an oxygen environment. In this investigation a induction furnace facility that emphasized the preignition surface.oxidation effects upon the ignition temperature was used. The bulk ignition temperatures of barium, bismuth, calcium, iron, lead, magnesium, molybdenum, strontium, tin, and zinc were found and compared to the previous results of Grosse and Conway. The differences in the results are attributed to how the heating cycle is carried out and how the cycle affects the surface oxide coat.
