Laser action in Nd(3+)-doped lanthanum oxysulfide powders.

We have investigated the stimulated emission properties of Nd(3+) doped La(2)O(2)S powders at room temperature as a function of pumping energy density, excitation wavelength, and Nd(3+) ion concentration. The absolute stimulated emission energy has been measured. Expressions for the slope efficiencies and lasing thresholds as a function of rare earth concentration and pumping wavelengths, which...

Synthesis and Characterization of Silver/Alumina Powders

In this research, synthesis and characterization of silver/alumina composite powders was investigated. This kind of metal/ceramic composite powders is used for fabrication of cutting tools inserts. The role of silver is toughening the final product. The powders were synthesized via co-precipitation method. The composition of the synthesized powders was Ag/80% wt 〖Al〗_2 O_3. Silver nitrate, alum...

Synthesis of HfB2 Powders by Carbothermal Reduction

In this research, solid state carbothermal synthesis of HfB2 Nano powders was investigated. For this purpose, HfO2,H3BO3, carbon active or phenolic resin were used as raw materials for carbothermal reaction. After 2-4 hours of milling the raw materials by a planetary ball in an ethanol media, the mixture was heat dried and pressed in to disks under pressure of 20-30 bar. The disks were then pla...
