Magnesium aluminate has the spinel structure along with good mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties. a wide range of applications including refractory ceramics, optically transparent ceramic windows, armors. Its low dielectric permeability loss tangent enable its for integrated electronic devices, as well. In this paper, MgO Al2O3 powders were mixed in one-to-one molar ratio calcined at t...

Glasses and single crystals have traditionally been used as optical windows. Recently, there has been a high demand for harder and tougher optical windows that are able to endure severe conditions. Transparent polycrystalline ceramics can fulfill this demand because of their superior mechanical properties. It is known that polycrystalline ceramics with a spinel structure in compositions of MgAl...

Abstract: Nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 spinel powder was synthesized using metal nitrates and a polymer matrix-based composed of sucrose and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The precursor and the calcined powders were characterized by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). According to XRD res...

Single crystals of stoichiometric MgA1204 spine1 were neutron-irradiated to fluences (> 0.1 MeV) of 2.8 x loz5 n m-2 (1.5 dpa) at 1015 K and 1.9 x loz6 n m-2 (10 dpa) at 925 K and 1 100 K. The resulting point defect'aggregates were investigated using bright-field and weak-beam dark-field transmission electron microscopy. For the higher dose, faulted interstitial Frank dislocation loops were fou...

ten chromite ores from ophiolite complexes in se iran were analyzed mineralogically by xrd, chemically by xrf, and mineral chemistry by epma. the identified paragenesis of silicate minerals of chromite ores with the x-ray diffraction is pronounced differently. it consists of secondary phases formed as serpentine, cr-containing chlorite (kaemmererite), chromic garnet (uarovite) with preserved pa...
