The effects of precipitants on co-precipitation synthesis of yttria-stabilized zirconia nanocrystalline powders
Yttrium-stabilized zirconia (Y0.08Zr0.92O1.96, YSZ) nanocrystalline powders were prepared by co-precipitation methods. Different precipitants (ammonium hydroxide, ammonium bicarbonate, oxalic acid, and urea) were...

Revealing the ductility of nanoceramic MgAl2O4
Ceramics are strong but brittle. According to the classical theories, ceramics are brittle mainly because dislocations are suppressed by cracks. Here, the authors report the combined elastic and plastic deform...

Ammonium citrate-assisted combustion synthesis and photoluminescence properties of Dy:YAG nanophosphors
Dy3+-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) nanocrystalline powders were synthesized by employing a sol–gel combustion process, in which triammonium citrate was used as both fuel reagent and dispersant. The influenc...

Fabrication of Yb3+-doped YAG transparent ceramics by aqueous gelcasting
In this work, Yb:YAG transparent ceramics were prepared through aqueous gel-casting forming technique. Single-phase Yb:YAG nanopowders with mean particle size of 170 nm were used to prepare Yb:YAG slurries. T...

Two-step preparation of AlON transparent ceramics with powder synthesized by aluminothermic reduction and nitridation method
The aluminothermic reduction and nitridation method using microsized Al powder and nanosized alumina powder was employed to fabricate AlON powder under N2 atmosphere. Single-phase aluminum oxynitride (AlON) can b...
