摘要
Nanostructured neodymium doped yttriurn aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) powders were synthesized at low temperature by a gel combustion method with citric acid as fuel and nitrate as oxidizer. The method involves exothermic decomposition of an aqueous citrate-nitrate gel. The decomposition is based on a thermally induced anionic redox reaction. A variety of 1.0 at% Nd:YAG powders with different agglomerate structures were obtained by altering the citrate-to-nitrate ratio gamma. The gel with gamma = 0.277 yielded nanocrystalline Nd:YAG at 800 degrees C without the formation of any intermediate phase. For other gels nanostructured Nd:YAG powders were obtained at 850 degrees C. The gel with gamma = 0.1 yielded nanostructured Nd:YAG powder with an average particle size of similar to 40 nm. The stoichiometric citrate-to-nitrate ratio (gamma = 0.277) gave the lowest amount of agglomeration. The decomposition of the get was investigated by TG-DSC and FTIR. The produced ashes and calcined powders were characterized by XRD, BET and FETEM analysis. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
