Abstract

Transparent Y₂O₃ ceramics were fabricated by solid-state reaction using high purity Y₂O₃ and ZrO₂ powder as starting material. The results indicated that ZrO₂ additive can improve the transparency of Y₂O₃ ceramic greatly. The best transmittance appears with 3at.% ZrO₂ doped Y₂O₃ transparent ceramic with transmittance at 1100nm of 83.1%, which is up to 98.6% of the theoretical value. The microstructure is uniform and no secondary phase is observed in the ceramic with the average grain size of 15μm. The mechanism of ZrO₂ improving the transparency of Y₂O₃ ceramic is analyzed in detail. On this basis, Yb³⁺ doped Y₂O₃ transparent ceramic was also fabricated and spectroscopic properties were investigated.
