The paper presents results of a research on fabrication magneto-optical ceramics based Ho 2 O 3 and Dy sesquioxides. were made by hot pressing powders prepared self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. methods modes the powder treatment developed it possible to significantly increase thickness without deterioration in optical quality comparison with samples obtained vacuum sintering. charact...

Dy-123 superconducting ceramics have been grown using small Dy2O3 single-crystals as seeds. Randomly oriented large mono-domains have been observed in the vicinity of the seeding single crystal. These domains are one order of magnitude greater in volume than the seed. The AC susceptibility versus temperature curves have been measured in a polycrystalline cubic sample for different orientations ...

The experimental parameters that control the size and size distribution of dysprosium oxide nanoparticles synthesized by homogeneous precipitation technique have been systematically investigated. The particles were characterized with respect to their size, shape, and thermal decomposition behavior. It was found that the precipitated particles were spherical, uniform in size, and amorphous, whic...
