The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1970 Engineering, chemical University Microfilms, A XEROX Company, Ann Arbor, Michigan THIS DISSERTATION HAS BEEN MICROFILMED EXACTLY AS RECEIVED STOICHIOMETRIC AND COMPOSITIONAL EFFECTS IN CRYOCHEMICALLY PROCESSED BARIUM FERRITE CERAMICS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert James Miller, B. Cer. E ., M.S. * * * * * * The Ohio State University 1970 Approved by Adviser Department of Ceramic Engineering ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express his sincere appreciation to his adviser, Dr. Ralston Russell, J r ., for his advice and guidance throughout the course of this investigation. His consultation and suggestions proved, a great asset in planning and carrying out this investigation. The advice of Dr. Morris Berg and Dr. Rodney Tettenhorst in vari ous aspects of this study proved very helpful. The technical assistance of Dr. Michael Komarmy, Robert Winberg, Sam Matarella, David Achey, Steven Miele, Roger Brown, Carl Schaefer, Arthur Somers, and Robert Carol is gratefully recognized. They have helped to make this investigation more meaningful and complete. In addition, the author wishes to take this opportunity to express his gratitude to the AC Spark Plug Division of General Motors, who sponsored this investigation, and especially to Dr. Karl Schwartzwalder, whose efforts made the entire program possible. His guidance, advice, and even prodding were greatly appreciated. The author e g resses his gratitude to his wife, Marilyn, for her de votion and understanding during the last several months of this endeavor. Finally, the author wishes to somehow convey his utmost gratitude to Mrs. Ruth Wick for all her help in preparing this manuscript. Without her assistance, it could never have been completed at this time. li VITA June 27, 1944 . Born — Uhrichsville, Ohio 1967 ........................ B. of Cer.
