摘要
Cr-doped yttrium aluminum garnet ceramics with different concentration of additives Ca and Si were synthesized by vacuum reaction sintering. It was established that simultaneous doping with Ca and Si effects crucially on morphology and optical ceramics properties. Average grain size of such ceramics can reach to 1.08 +/- 0.06 Vim that is much more less against the ceramics without Ca dopant. The optical properties of the ceramics deteriorate significantly with increase of Ca concentration. The degree of Cr4(+) transformation to Cr3+ under air annealing is not well due to competition between Cr4+ and Si4+ ions to be charge compensated by Ca2+. Sintering aid SiO2, which used in widespread ceramic technology to produce the high optical quality ceramics based on YAG, cannot be applied to produce the Cr4+- doped YAG ceramics with Ca as a charge compensator.
