Spectral properties of Ce3+ doped yttrium lanthanum oxide transparent ceramics

Ce3+-doped yttrium lanthanum oxide (Y0.9La0.1)2O3 transparent ceramics is fabricated with nanopowders and sintered in H2 atmosphere. The spectral properties of Ce:(Y0.9La0.1)2O3 transparent ceramics are investigated. There appear two characteristic absorption peaks of Ce3+ ions at 230 nm and 400 nm, separately. It is found that Ce3+ ions can efficiently produce emission at 384 nm from (Y0.9La0.1)2O3 transparent ceramic host, while the emission is completely quenched in Re2O3 (Re=Y, Lu, La) host materials.     

La2O3对Yb3+掺杂的氧化钇透明激光陶瓷性能的影响

本文研究了La2O3的含量对(Yb0.05 Y0.95)2O3透明激光陶瓷的结构性能和烧结性能的影响.结果表明:随着La2O3含量的增加,拉曼光谱特征峰发生红移,声子能量降低,半高宽增大,相对强度先增大后减小;同时密度、相对密度和透过率都增大,陶瓷的晶粒减小,而当La2O3含量继续增加时,晶粒基本保持不变.但适量的La2O3掺杂量对(Yb0.05Y0.95)2O3透明激光陶瓷的发射性能影响不大.最合适的La2O3添加量为10at%,最合适的烧结温度为1700℃,最后样品的直线透过率可达到75%.
