Nanopore Characterization and Optical Modeling of Transparent Polycrystalline Alumina
Production of transparent ceramics has become a topic of resurgent interest in recent years, with its promise of near-net shaping appealing to applications ranging from biomedicine to solar energy. However, the mechanisms governing ceramic transparency, translucency, and opaqueness are not entirely understood. Models of both grain boundary and pore scattering have been proposed, but too often w...
متن کاملTransmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Characterization of doped α-Alumina
Qualitative EDX analysis: A map is acquired in low magnification. Results show equiaxial grains finely distributed through out the sample. In spite of the fact that simulations indicate no clear energetic gain or loss for cosegreation over single dopant segregation in this material, we observed that in all grain boundaries these two dopants (Y an La) are segregating together (figure 2). This co...
متن کاملEffect of copassivation of Cl and Cu on CdTe grain boundaries.
Using a first-principles method, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystalline CdTe and the effects of copassivation of elements with far distinct electronegativities. Of the two types of GBs studied in this Letter, we find that the Cd core is less harmful to the carrier transport, but is difficult to passivate with impurities such as Cl an...
متن کاملTransparent polycrystalline alumina using spark plasma sintering: Effect of Mg, Y and La doping
ransparent polycrystalline alumina (PCA) is a promising replacement for sapphire. Its optical properties however are highly dependent on the rain size and residual porosity which need to be controlled for real inline transmittances (RIT), that are high enough for possible applications. To achieve high RITs, doping as well as pressure assisted sintering is often used. In this study spark plasma ...
متن کاملMechanism of ‘‘Solid-State’’ Single-Crystal Conversion in Alumina
Single crystals of Al2O3 were reproducibly grown from an MgO-doped polycrystalline precursor. The single crystals were grown through controlled abnormal grain growth at temperatures between 16701 and 19451C. It was observed that CaO impurities segregated to the boundary between the single crystal and the polycrystalline region, and formed a wetting intergranular film. This type of film is requi...
