Fabrication of LaGdZr_2O_7 transparent ceramic

摘要

A simple combustion method was used to synthesize LaGdZr_2O_7 powder and LaGdZr_2O_7 transparent ceramic was prepared by vacuum sintering at 1850 °C for 6 h. The final transparent ceramic, with a density of 6.46 g/cm~3, has an in-line transmittance of 70.7% at 1000 nm and a refractive index of 2.08 at 632.8 nm.
