Preparation of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet powders and fibers

Structural and electrical characterization of (K0.48Na0.52)0.96Li0.04Nb0.85Ta0.15O3 synthesized by spray drying

“…This result is not achievable through conventional ceramic technique. It is found that a possible explanation is due to that spray drying eliminates solvent in very short times promoting chemical homogeneity on the precursor powder, 9,10 besides the fact that the calcination step produces escape of gases resulting in soft agglomerates of fine particles on the calcined powders. On the other hand, it has been reported that the addition of Ta +5 to KNN reduces considerably the grain growth and can be also one reason of the small size distribution.…”

Piezoelectric properties of Li–Ta co-doped potassium–sodium niobate ceramics prepared by spark plasma and conventional sintering

“…It is worth noting that this size cannot be obtained by the conventional ceramic method. It is known that spray drying eliminates solvents in a very short time promoting chemical homogeneity on the precursor powders [18,19]. Additionally, powder calcination induces chemical reactions, which can produce gas formation as well as fine particles agglomeration.…”

Synthesis of Monodispersed Spherical Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) Powders by a Homogeneous Precipitation Method

“…Various wet‐chemical methods have been developed and successfully used in recent years for low‐temperature production of phase‐pure YAG powders. These methods include sol‐gel processing, hydroxide co‐precipitation, homogeneous precipitation, glycothermal treatment, spray pyrolysis, and combustion synthesis . Among these wet‐chemical processing methods, homogenous precipitation is a very effective, although not the only possible method to use for preparation of monodispersed colloidal spheres .…”
