摘要
Using commercial alpha-Al(2)O(3), Y(2)O(3) and Nd(2)O(3) as raw materials, 0.8 at% Nd:YAG ceramics were fabricated by solid-state reaction and vacuum sintering technology, with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as sintering aid. The Nd:YAG ceramics were obtained by sintering at 1750 degrees C for 20 h under vacuum. The sintering process with different heating rate of the Nd:YAG ceramics have been studied during the present work. The grain sizes, pores and secondary phase amounts increased versus increasing the heating rate. The optical properties of the Nd:YAG ceramics were closely related to the microstructures of the specimens. The lasing performance of the Nd:YAG ceramics changed drastically with change in pores and secondary phase amounts. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group Sr.l. All rights reserved.
