Fabrication and characterizations of erbium oxide based optical ceramics

Thermo-Optical Studies of Laser Ceramics

“…The sinterability of the individual oxides is usually insufficient for producing laser-quality ceramics without hot isostatic pressing and is a nontrivial task, even with its application. Therefore, at free vacuum sintering, a sintering additive La 2 O 3 [ 45 , 58 , 61 ] and in some cases Y 2 O 3 is used, when the solubility of lanthanum oxide is insufficient for a single-phase ceramics to be formed (for example, in Dy 2 O 3 [ 42 , 56 ]). These additives are isovalent to REE oxides and, except for some decrease in thermal conductivity, have do not negatively affect the characteristics of ceramics.…”

“…Samples of magneto-active ceramics were studied in detail in the following works: Tb 2 O 3 [ 39 , 40 , 53 ], Dy 2 O 3 [ 42 , 54 , 62 ], Ho 2 O 3 [ 44 , 45 ], Er 2 O 3 [ 57 ], Yb 2 O 3 [ 46 ], and Y 2 O 3 [ 42 ]. The research [ 44 ] was made in collaboration with the Chinese colleagues of the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics.…”

“… Dispersion trends of the Verdet constant of TGG [ 39 ], Tb 2 O 3 [ 39 , 40 ], TAG [ 38 , 41 ], Dy 2 O 3 [ 42 ], Ho 2 O 3 [ 43 , 44 ], Er 2 O 3 [ 45 ], Yb 2 O 3 [ 46 ], ZnSe [ 47 ], and Y 2 O 3 [ 42 ]). …”

Fabrication, microstructure and optical characterizations of holmium oxide (Ho2O3) transparent ceramics

“…There have been some reports on the preparation of Tb 2 O 3 [33,34], Dy 2 O 3 [35][36][37], Ho 2 O 3 [38][39][40][41][42] and Er 2 O 3 [43] magneto-optical transparent ceramics. Ho 2 O 3 ceramics were first reported in 2002 [44].…”

A review on magneto-optical ceramics for Faraday isolators

“…Balabanov et al in 2020[246]. The submicron powders from SHS had cubic single-phases, and were composed of substitutional solid solutions of erbium and lanthanum oxides.…”
