Monodispersed nanosized yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) powder was synthesized via a mixed‐solvent thermal method using stoichiometric amounts of inorganic aluminum and yttrium salts. Pure‐phase YAG crystalline powder was obtained at low temperature (290°C) and low pressure (10 MPa). The resulting products were characterized by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD results showed that single‐phase YAG could be formed directly from an amorphous precursor at 280°C and become fully developed at 290°C. TEM images showed that the YAG powder particles in the study were basically spherical in shape and well‐dispersed with a mean grain size of about 60 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
