Ho:Y2O3 and Ho:Y3Al5O12 transparent ceramics are fabricated by vacuum sintering at 1780 °C for 20 h from laser-ablated nanopowders (Ho:Y2O3 + Al2O3) using ZrO2 TEOS as aids, respectively. The sesquioxide ceramic exhibits smaller grain size (∼5.4 μm), content of pores (down to 6 ppm) higher optical transmission (up 82.2% ∼1 μm) than the garnet one. A detailed comparative spectroscopic study two ...

First, some basic notions of transparent intensional logic (TIL) are introduced. Secondly, it is studied how natural-language interrogatives are analyzed in TIL.

Transparent alumina ceramics were fabricated using an extrusion-based 3D printer and post-processing steps including debinding, vacuum sintering, polishing. Printable slurry recipes printing parameters optimized to fabricate quality green bodies of varying shapes sizes. Two-step sintering profiles found increase density while reducing grain size thus improving the transparency sintered over sin...

The nanoscale microstructure and chemistry of a transparent gahnite glass-ceramic its precursor glass were investigated using atom probe tomography, transmission electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In the annealed glass, statistically significant ZrO clustering was observed along with Si depletion within 2 nm clusters. This is expected to be first step in nucleation cr...

Glazed ceramics are a common material analyzed through geochemistry, whether in the form of tableware collected during excavations or tiles observed as part architectural features. Within framework these studies, measuring thickness transparent glaze is one useful variables available for characterization ceramic, contributing to searches provenance well serialization. However, this task often r...
