1. A method for forming an array of different ceramic materials, the method comprising
delivering a first component of ten or more different ceramic materials to each of ten or more regions of a substrate, respectively,
the first component being the same for each of the ten or more ceramic materials,
delivering a second component of the ten or more ceramic materials to the ten or more regions of the substrate, the second
component being the same for each of the ten or more ceramic materials, the first and second components of the ten or more
ceramic materials being delivered to the ten or more regions of the substrate in a gradient of stoichiometries as compared
between regions,
simultaneously reacting the delivered first and second components of the ten or more ceramic materials by a sol-gel process
to form the ten or more ceramic materials.
