PLZT:Nd3+ Ceramics for Photonic Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present work the influence of neodymium concentration (0-1at-%) and sintering conditions on 8/65/35 PLZT:Nd3+ ceramics were studied. All ceramic powders were synthesized by MOM technique from high purity raw materials (>99,9%), and subsequently sintered by free sintering and hot uniaxial pressing method. To analyze the powders and ceramics more the XRD, EDS SEM, and ferroelectric measurements were performed. Optical spectra were examined for all prepared samples, and their optical properties were analyzed using reflectance, excitation and luminescence measurements. The study gives a detailed account of the relationships between doping and preparing conditions on the basic physical and dielectric and optical properties of obtained ceramic materials.
