Abstract
Controlling the crystallographic orientation in bulk ceramics is expected to improve their properties that depend on the axis of the crystal structure. The development of crystallographic orientation using a magnetic field has been reported in various types of bulk ceramics with anisotropic crystal structures. In this study, c-axis–oriented AlN bulk ceramics were prepared by slip casting in a rotating high magnetic field. The c-axes of 61% of the grains were aligned within 20°. Due to this orientation, the thermal conductivity of AlN was improved. A thermal conductivity difference of approximately 14% at room temperature was observed for the samples with different orientation axes, which is higher than its intrinsic anisotropy.
