Synthesis of single-phase polycrystalline YAG was achieved at temperatures as low as 800 ℃ using the spray-drying methodology whilst conventional approaches currently available require 1000 ℃. Initially, a solution was prepared by mixing aluminum and yttrium nitrates, citric acid, etilenglycol and neodymium oxide. This solution was dried by pulverization （spray dryer） to obtain aggregated precursor powders of the compound. These aggregates were calcined at 800, 850 and 900 ℃ to determine the phase evolution from amorphous to crystalline by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The morphology of aggregates was characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. Moreover, through XRD it was determined that the crystallization of YAG phase started at about 800 ℃ without any intermediate phases. The powders were composed of spherical aggregates with an average diameter of 1 um. From these powders, ceramic fibers with additions of 2at.% and 5at.% Nd, were extracted from the melt with diameters ranging from 30 um to 50 um.展开更多

The ceramic materials were characterized by light transmittance and field emission gun-environment scanning microscope. Using statistics and stereology theory, study was carried out on the quantitative relationships between light transmittance and stereological parameters in three-dimensional Euclidean space. It is found that the transmittance of Nd：YAG with 1 mm in thickness is about 45% and 58% in visible and near-infrared wavelength, respectively. The transmittance linearly increases with increasing equivalent sphere diameter and reaches the theoretical value of single crystal when the equivalent sphere diameter is 20μm. The transmittance decreases with the increasing of mean specific area per unit volume of grain and discrete grains, and the transmittance decreases with increasing mean free distance of grains in Nd：YAG ceramics.展开更多

The crystallization, morphologies, particle size and particle size distribution of the phosphors obtained under different experimental conditions were studied. The influence of various factors on the luminescence intensity of the phosphor was also investigated, such as feeding methods, volume flow rate, contents of Ce and initial reactant concentration. The results show that the precursors synthesized by T-tube impinging streams co-precipitation reaction transform to Y3A15O12 （YAG） phosphor at about 1 000 ℃. The particles are far smaller and narrower than those prepared by D-CP.

文摘Pe rsistent luminescence(Pers L)materials are widely used in safety indication,traffic and transportation signs,architectural decoration and other fields.In this paper,(Y_(1-x)Ce_(x))(Al_(0.9995)Cr_(0.0005))_(2)Ga_(3)O_(12)(x=0.001,0.002,0.003,0.005)transparent ceramics were successfully prepared by solid-state reaction method in air followed by HIP post-treatment.With the increase of Cedoping concentration,the optical quality of the as-prepared ceramics is improved and the morphology is denser.Luminescent quenching occurs when the Ceconcentration is more than 0.2%.The as-prepared transparent ceramics we re annealed in different atmosphere s.From the PersL decay curve s,the transparent ce ramics after air annealing show the best PersL performance:luminance with 4424.0 mcd/m^(2)and PersL duration over865 min after ceasing 365 nm excitation,respectively.The effects of Cedoping concentration and annealing atmospheres are also discussed in detail.
