| Abstract | The Nd:YAG transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum sintering at 1750 degrees C for 20 h, where the raw nanopowders were synthesized by a modified co-precipitation method. Subsequently the Nd:YAG ceramic specimens were annealed or even re-annealed in air or vacuum at 1250-1500 degrees C for 20 h. The Nd:YAG ceramic specimens were investigated by X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that post-annealing could improve the optical properties and microstructure of Nd:YAG transparent ceramics. By air annealing, the in-line transmittances of the specimens increased, mainly due to the decrease of oxygen vacancies concentration in specimens. The air annealing at 1450 degrees C for 20 h was optimum for preparation of Nd:YAG transparent ceramics. Furthermore, the red shift of UV absorption edge after air annealing could be attributed to the absorption by Fe3+ charge transfer bands. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
