The spectral properties of Ce：（Y0.9La0.1）2O3 transparent ceramics are investigated. There appear two characteristic absorption peaks of Ce3＋ ions at 230~nm and 400~nm, separately. It is found that Ce3＋ ions can efficiently produce emission at 384~nm from （Y0.9La0.1）2O3 transparent ceramic host, while the emission is completely quenched in Re2O3 （Re=Y, Lu, La） host materials.展开更多

After calcinations, finer particles with narrow distribution and large surface area were obtained. After dry pressing, samples were sintered at 1500℃―1700℃ for 4 h in vacuum to produce transparent polycrystalline ceramics with uniform grains. Samples with 9 mol% lanthanum were transparent in visible light after being sintered at 1500℃ for 4 h. The grain sizes increased with lanthanum doping compared with those of pure yttria transparent ceramic sintered at the same conditions. Relative density of the transparent ceramic was 99.7%. The in-line transmittance was 73% at 580 nm wavelength after milling and polishing.展开更多
