The Thermal Fluids Laboratory houses two high pressure vertical Bridgman furnaces and other equipment for growth of single crystal PMN-PT, for transducers and piezoelectric devices. There is also an RF Czochralski furnace being used to grow Scintillator and Optical material systems.

Romit Dahr (PhD student) and Matt Thurber (graduate student) work together to prepare the Bridgman furnace.
