This review paper is based on the invited talk presented by the same authors at the 8th
International Workshop on Far-Infrared Technologies (IW-FIRT 2021). It overviews some …

This paper reviews the basic physical notions underlying microwave sintering and the
theoretical and numerical models of the microwave sintering process. The propagation and …

In recent years, a considerable interest has been drawn to microwave heating of powder
metals and other electrically conductive materials. In this paper a consistent formulation …

The maximal frequency of radiation higher than 1 THz has been recently obtained in pulse
gyrotrons both at IAP (Nizhny Novgorod, Russia) and FIR (Fukui, Japan). CW generation at …

The results of a study of ultra-rapid (flash) sintering of oxide ceramic materials under
microwave heating with high absorbed power per unit volume of material (10–500 W/cm3) …

Within the framework of the average approach and direct 3D PIC (particle-in-cell)
simulations, we demonstrate that the gyrotrons operating in the regime of developed …

In this review paper, we present the recent progress in the development of a series of
gyrotrons at the Research Center for Development of Far-Infrared Region, University of …

Yb:(LaY) 2O3 ceramic samples have been sintered to almost full density in a fast microwave
heating process with zero hold time. Rapid densification is observed at heating rates …

We describe a series of gyrotron facilities developed at the Institute of Applied Physics of the
Russian Academy of Sciences for studying physical processes during interaction of …

Glycine-nitrate self-propagating high-temperature synthesis was used to synthesize terbium
oxide nanopowders whose phase transformations were investigated by methods of high …
