Effects of Sintering Temperature on Structure and Electronic Properties of Mg0.2Zn0.8O:Al Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mg0.2Zn0.8O:Al ceramics with high density using nano scale ZnO, MgO and Al2O3 powders as raw materials were obtained by pressureless sintering. The influence of presintering powder and sintering temperature on microstructure of Mg0.2Zn0.8O:Al ceramics were studied. The experiment indicated that presintering powder might decrease produce of the second phase nucleation. The grain size became gradually larger and density of ceramic became obviously higher from 1100°C to 1300°C, but the rising-trend became slower after 1300°C. The Mg0.2Zn0.8O:Al ceramics with high density and homogeneous structure can be made at 1300°C for
