Abstract
Polycrystalline materials of macroscopic size exhibiting Single-Crystal-Like properties are formed from a plurality of Single-Crystal Particles, having Self-Aligning morphologies and optionally ling morphology, bonded together and aligned along at least one, and up to three, crystallographic directions.
Claims37
A polycrystalline material comprising a plurality of single-crystal particles having self-orientation and bonded together to fix their orientation along at least one crystallographic direction, wherein said single crystal particles fill greater than about 65% of the space occupied by the gross dimensions of the material.
A polycrystalline material comprising a plurality of single-crystal particles having self-orientation and bonded together to fix their orientation along at least one crystallographic direction, wherein said single crystal particles are bonded together by a polymer phase.
A polycrystalline material comprising a plurality of single crystal particles having self-orientation and bonded together to fix their orientation along at least one crystallographic direction, wherein the thickness of said polycrystalline material is less than about 2 microns.
A polycrystalline material comprising a plurality of single crystal particles having self-orientation and bonded together to fix their orientation along at least one crystallographic direction, wherein the single crystal particles consist of lead zirconium titanate.
