TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the symmetry error is not applicable to the experiments without thermal collimation, specifically the results presented in Fig. 1a here and Fig. 2, where the graphite plate next to BB1 can convert the local equilibrium Bose-Einstein statistics fBE(T1) to a nonlocal, non-equilibrium reservoir boundary condition fNE,1(T 1,T 2), at the boundary between (BB1þ plate1) and the test section SA, as shown here in F.

TL;DR: In this article, current and heat generation gradients were evaluated in the radial and axial directions for both cases, in order to investigate current and temperature distributions under typical spark plasma sintering (SPS) conditions.

TL;DR: A new frequency-dependent model is explained over the entire temperature range in which the mean free path for grain boundary scattering is inversely proportional to the phonon frequency, which is shown to be consistent with asymptotic analysis of atomistic simulations from the literature.

TL;DR: The characteristics of pulsing patterns in the SPS process were investigated in this paper, and the effect of the pulsing on the reactivity between Si and Mo was determined Pulsing patterns were composed of consecutive 3-ms peaks separated by a period of no current.

TL;DR: A review of current-activated, pressure-assisted densification (CAPAD) focuses on both fundamental and practical issues as mentioned in this paper, and provides some useful background for researchers interested in the process and critically assess the state of the technique.
