Abstract

A recently developed technique combining photolithography, ion beam milling, and hot pressing allows the production of submicron-scale controlled-geometry, controlled-crystallography pore structures in controlled misorientation bicrystals, single crystal-polycrystal ensembles, and polycrystal-polycrystal ensembles. Such microdesigned interfacial structures provide a new tool for studying fundamental aspects of microstructural evolution. Current applications of the technique, opportunities for future research, and future extensions and refinements of the technique are described.
