The technique enables the application, generation and measurement of significant thermal gradients, and furthermore allows the direct spatial correlation of thermal and crystallographic measurements. The design and implementation of a novel furnace enabling the simultaneous thermal and X-ray measurements is described. The technique is expected to have wide applicability in material science and engineering; here it has been applied to the study of solid oxide fuel cells at high temperature.}, author = {Robinson, JB and Brown, LD and Jervis, R and Taiwo, OO and Millichamp, J and Mason, TJ and Neville, TP and Eastwood, DS and Reinhard, C and Lee, PD and Brett, DJ and Shearing, PR}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S1600577514014209} }
