The Effect of Precipitate Agent in Co-Precipitation Synthesis Y3Al5O12 and Y3Fe5O12 Powders

Article Preview

Abstract:

The YAG and YIG powders have been prepared by co-precipitation technique in which NH4HCO3 or (NH4)2CO3 is used as a precipitant and Y(NO3)3·6H2O, Al (NO3)3·9H2O and Fe (NO3)3·9H2O as raw materials. The composition, the phase formation process and the properties of the YAG and YIG powders were investigated by means of XRD, SEM, TEM and EDS. The results indicated that the precipitant effects the preparation of pure-phase powders. The resultant YAG and YIG powders showed good dispersity and excellent sinterability using AHC as precipitant.
