Abstract A 2 B 2 O 7 system compounds, which usually present three phase structures
mainly based on the ionic radius ratios of r A and r B (r A/r B), have been studied for potential …

The effect of Y 2 O 3: MgO ratio on the microstructures, optical and mechanical properties of
the Y 2 O 3-MgO composites were investigated. Although the dense Y 2 O 3-MgO …

Infrared transparent pure Y 2 O 3 nanoceramics were fabricated from citric acid sol-gel
combustion synthesized nanopowder and through the combination of hot pressing and hot …

Sintering-additive-free fine-grained highly transparent Y 2 O 3 ceramics featuring record-
high thermal shock resistance were fabricated using commercial powders via vacuum pre …

This article presents the influence of praseodymium or cerium ions on physicochemical
properties of yttrium oxide. Pure yttrium oxide and yttrium oxide doped with Ce or Pr ions …

In this study, we report highly transparent Er: Y 2 O 3 ceramics (0–10 at% Er) fabricated by a
vacuum sintering method using compound sintering additives of ZrO 2 and La 2 O 3. The …

Transparent Y 2 O 3 ceramics were fabricated by the solid-state reaction and vacuum
sintering method using La 2 O 3, ZrO 2 and Al 2 O 3 as sintering aids. The microstructure of …

Commercial Y 2 O 3 powder was used to fabricate Y 2 O 3 ceramics sintered at 1600° C and
1800° C with concurrent addition of ZrO 2 and La 2 O 3 as sintering aids. One group with …

Improved optical and mechanical properties are required for future infrared windows
working in harsher mechanical and thermal environments than today. Ameliorating the …

Abstract Yb 3+-doped Lu 2 O 3 nanoparticles produced by laser ablation were used to
fabricate transparent ceramics by a combination of pressureless sintering in vacuum (PS) …
