Synthesis, Characterization, and Optical Properties of Pristine and Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Nanopowders

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Ceramic Society
Pristine, Si-doped, and Si/Nd-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) nanoparticles were synthesized by pyrolysis of complex compounds of aluminum and yttrium with triethanolamine. It was found that the coexistence of Si?? and Nd?? increased the solubility of both ions and promoted the formation of YAG phase. Single-phase, nanocrystalline Si/Nd:YAG powders were obtained at calcinations temperatures as low as 920 C. The optical behaviour of the Si/Nd:YAG nanopowders was similar to that of single-crystal ND:YAG.
