Owing to superior properties, ie high hardness, high wear resistance, and weight reduction
of transparent ceramics (TCs) over glasses, TCs have shown promising tribological potential …

Er3+ ion doped eye-safe lasers operating at a wavelength of 1.5 μm have attracted attention
for use in many applications requiring protection from accidental retina exposure. For eye …

Highly transparent MgO ceramics have been prepared via Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) at
1200° C for 10–60 min, under a pressure of 100 MPa. All of the prepared ceramics were …

Point defects induced by doping rare earth elements (RE)(Nd and Er) into a magnesium
oxide host were investigated via classical atomistic simulations utilising the General Utility …

Novel IR-transparent ceramics of erbium-doped Lu2O3-MgO and Sc2O3-MgO composites
have been successfully obtained using a combination of glycine–nitrate self-propagating …

Abstract Ce 3+ single-doped, Ce 3+-Tb 3+, Ce 3+-Eu 3+ and Tb 3+-Eu 3+ co-doped, and Ce
3+-Tb 3+-Eu 3+ triply-doped nano-glass-ceramics (nGCs), containing cubic 10 nm size …

Y 2 O 3-MgO nanocomposite has attracted attention for use in infrared windows and domes.
However, the large difference in refractive index between the two phases of this materials …

Abstract 3D printing of transparent ceramics has attracted great attention recently but faces
the challenges of limited compositional system and low transparency. Herein, transparent Y …

The work is devoted to obtaining of transparent nanocomposite materials as low loss, highly
thermally conductive materials for potential laser applications. We report Ho 3+: Y 2 O 3 …

In this study, the combination of hydrothermal technique and seed-doping method was
conducted to coordinately control the formation of fine MgO-Y2O3 powders, which are …
