This research is concerned with the establishment of an engineering             base for the synthesis and processing of refractory powders in thermal          plasmas.  The emphasis of the work is on the development, analysis, and         diagnostics of a radio-frequency of plasma reactor, suitable for the            synthesis of refractory powders, in particular of simple and complex            metal oxides.  Diagnostic methods include emission spectroscopy,                laser-Doppler anemometry, laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, and          high speed photography.  The refractory powders are analyzed using              primarily electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, BET and Auger                 Spectroscopy.  Modeling work is to include the plasma reactor itself,           the particle motion, heating, melting, and evaporation in the plasma,           and the ensuing chemical reactions and product formation.
