Cutting edge high temperature materials include high temperature superconductors, solid oxide fuel cells, thermoelectric materials and ultrahigh temperature construction materials (including metals, cermets and ceramics) and have applications in key areas such as energy, transportation and space technologies.
This book introduces the concepts which underpin research into these critical materials including thermodynamics, kinetics and various physical, chemical and modelling techniques with a focus on practical "how to" methods and covers

* Introduction to High Temperature Research
* Basic Design of High Temperature Furnaces
* Temperature Measurement
* Radiation Pyrometry
* Refractory Materials in the Laboratory
* Vacuum in Theory and Practice
* The Design of Vacuum Furnaces and Thermobalances
