Solid-state synthesis of YAG powders through microwave coupling of oxide/carbon particulate mixtures
Abstract
The rapid synthesis of yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al15O12, YAG) powder was investigated through the use of microwave irradiation of the oxide precursor system. For this investigation, an external hybrid heating source was not used. Instead, the rapid heating of the precursor materials (yttria and alumina powders, which are typically transparent to 2.45 GHz microwaves) was initiated by mixing an intrinsic absorbing material (carbon) into the original oxide precursors. The effect of the carbon characteristics, such as carbon source, concentration, particle size, and agglomerate microstructure were evaluated on the efficiency of coupling and resultant oxide reaction. The microwave power was varied to optimize the YAG conversion and eliminate intermediate phase formation. Interactions between the conductive carbon particles and the dielectric oxides within the microwave exposure produced local arching and micro-plasma formation within the powder bed, resulting in the rapid formation of the refractory YAG composition. This optimal conduction led to temperatures of 1000°C that could be achieved in less than 5 min resulting in the formation of > 90 vol% YAG. The understanding of a conductor/dielectric particulate system here, provided insight into possible application of similar systems where microwave irradiation could be used for enhanced solid-state formation, local melting events, andmore »
