Plot the gain against a time constant, and the shape of the curve tells you the age of the ceramic... Theoretically. Its that pesky last bit that always leads to trouble....
Good luck Pat...now get out of the lab more.

re: way to date ceramics
I just turn the article upside down and check to see if there’s a date and maybe a name or initials there.

Sorry, I don’t date ceramics anymore after a flower pot broke my heart.

Michigan Tech is in the Upper Peninsula. It does get cold up there in the winter.
