Abstract
In this study, a highly transparent (Y0.25Gd0.25Lu0.25Sc0.25)2-2xTm2xO3 high-entropy ceramic was prepared by vacuum sintering, and the effect of Tm2O3 was systematically investigated. The ceramic has a single-phase solid solution with the cubic crystal structure of Y2O3, and Tm2O3 promotes grain growth along with densification, the average grain size grows from 5.25 to 16.41 μm, and the transmittance can be significantly increased to 81 % at 5.29 μm, and the hardness of the ceramic reaches 10.76 ± 0.17 GPa. Due to its excellent transmittance at 2–7 μm and good mechanical properties, it has potential applications in medium-wave atmospheric windows.
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.
