Abstract:
      Ln3Al5O12(LnAG, Ln=Y, Ce, Yb) lanthanide aluminium garnets nanopowders were prepared by co-precipitation method with Y2O3, Yb2O3, Al(NO3)3?9H2O and Ce(NO3)3?6H2O as raw materials, NH4HCO3 and NH3?H2O as co-precipitator. The precursor and calcined powders were characterized with TG/DTA, XRD, SEM and TEM. The results show that well dispersive, regular shape Y3Al5O12, Yb3Al5O12, Y2.9Ce0.1Al5O12 garnets powders with an average particle size of about 50 nm were obtained by calcining the precursor at 1 000 ℃ for 3 h. However, Ce3Al5O12 does not formed under the same experimental conditions. The optimum calcining temperature to synthetize garnets powder is above 1 050 ℃.
