Metal oxide nanoparticles demonstrate uniqueness in various technical applications due to
their suitable physiochemical properties. In particular, yttrium oxide (Y2O3) nanoparticle is …

The Faraday effect is a magneto-optical (MO) phenomenon by which the polarization
direction of linearly polarized light is rotated when passing through a transparent material …

The Faraday isolator, one of the key high-power laser elements, provides optical isolation
between a master oscillator and a power amplifier or between a laser and its target, for …

New glass compositions containing high concentrations of Tb3+ ions were developed
aiming at the production of magneto-optical (MO) fibers. This work reports on the structural …

We describe different types of photonic structures that allow tunability of the photonic band
gap upon the application of external stimuli, as the electric or magnetic field. We review and …

Optical fiber specklegram sensors (FSSs) for magnetic field measurements are reported.
The probes are compact, with only a fiber length of 100 mm exposed to a magnetic field and …

The aim of the work was to synthesize Y 2 O 3, La 0.1 Y 1.9 O 3, Nd 0.1 Y 1.9 O 3, Nd 0.1 La
0.1 Y 1.8 O 3 and Nd 0.12 La 0.1 Y 1.78 O 3 powders using EDTA gel processes, and to …

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 …

High transparent MgO ceramics were fabricated by state-of-the-art arc plasma melting
synthesis using high purity commercial powder as starting material. The structure and …

The nano-Y 2 O 3 was prepared from YCl 3 by the citrate precipitation method. The
precursor powders were prepared by 0.1 mol/L YCl 3 solution and 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric …
