AD BaTiO₃

Vackel, Andrew V.

Aerosol Deposition (AD) is a unique thick film deposition technology that is capable of depositing ceramic, metallic, or composite films through the acceleration, impact and consolidation of dry, fine sized (~0.1-1μm) particle feedstock delivered by a carrier gas towards a substrate [akedo]. Additionally, the use of fine particle feedstock is necessary in order for typically brittle materials (i.e., ceramics) to exhibit sufficient plasticity and non-brittle fracturing that is the key mechanism to coating consolidation [Sarobol], resulting in a dense, nano-crystalline grain size deposition.
