Abstract

In this study, Fe²⁺:ZnSe_xS_1-x (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solution laser ceramics with cubic crystal structures were prepared for the first time via hot pressing sintering, using FeSe, ZnSe, and ZnS powders. The resulting ceramics exhibit a unique combination of the optical and physical properties of Fe²⁺:ZnSe and Fe²⁺:ZnS. An increase in the ZnS content led to a blueshift in the maximum absorption spectra of Fe²⁺ ions and an enhancement in Vickers hardness. These findings suggest that Fe²⁺:ZnSe_xS_1-x solid solution ceramics could serve as promising gain media for mid-infrared solid-state lasers, offering a novel approach for the development of directly pumped mid-infrared laser systems.

用于中红外激光应用的新型 Fe2+：ZnSexS1-x 固溶体激光陶瓷的开发与表征

本研究首次使用 FeSe、ZnSe 和 ZnS 粉末，通过热压烧结法制备了具有立方晶体结构的 Fe2+:ZnSexS1-x (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1) 固溶体激光陶瓷。制备出的陶瓷独特地结合了 Fe2+:ZnSe 和 Fe2+:ZnS 的光学和物理性质。ZnS 含量的增加导致 Fe2+ 离子的最大吸收光谱发生蓝移，并提高了维氏硬度。这些发现表明，Fe2+:ZnSexS1-x 固溶体陶瓷可作为中红外固态激光器的增益介质，为开发直接泵浦的中红外激光系统提供了一种新方法。

期刊介绍： Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties. Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour. Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
