Composites of hydroxyapatite with cubic zirconia with MgO or MgF2 were pressureless sintered at temperatures from 1000 to 1300 degrees C. The reactions and transformations of phases were monitored with X-ray diffraction. For the hydroxyapatite and zirconia composites with MgO, calcium diffused from hydroxyapatite into the zirconia, and hydroxyapatite decomposed to tri-calcium phosphate at sintering temperatures higher than 1000 degrees C. Above about 1200 degrees C, CaZrO3 was formed. Composites containing the MgF2 decomposed slower than the composites with MgO which was verified by the changes in the lattice volume of the hydroxyapatite left in the composites. Fluorine ions in MgF2 diffused into hydroxyapatite which resulted in thermal stability at high sintering temperatures. Composites with MgF2 had higher hardness than those with MgO. The lowest porosity was found in a composite initially containing 10 wt% cubic zirconia and 5 wt% MgF2.

Hydrothermal synthesis of pure and Dy : BaTiO3 powders at 90 degrees C and their sintering behavior
Oren, EE; Tas, AC (1998-05-06)
Sub-micron (150-200 nm), monodisperse and spherical powders of pure and Dy-doped (0.8 at%) BaTiO3 have been prepared by "hydrothermal synthesis" at 90 degrees C in an air atmosphere. The powder preparation technique adopted in this work did not necessitate the utilization of strict and expensive measures which were commonly required for the removal of free CO2 present in the atmosphere. The synthesized powders were crystalline, pure, and did not contain BaCO3 as an impurity phase. Pure and Dy-doped BaTiO3 p...
Improvement in sinterability and phase stability of hydroxyapatite and partially stabilized zirconia composites
Evis, Zafer; KUTBAY, IŞIL (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-01)
Composites of hydroxyapatite with partially stabilized zirconia with MgO or MgF2 were pressureless sintered between 1000 degrees C and 1300 degrees C. The reactions and transformations of phases were verified by X-ray diffraction. For the hydroxyapatite and zirconia composites with MgO, calcium from the hydroxyapatite diffused into the zirconia phase, and the hydroxyapatite decomposed to tri-calcium phosphate at sintering temperatures higher than 1000 degrees C. Above about 1200 degrees C, CaZrO3 was formed...
Hydroxylapatite-zirconia composites: Thermal stability of phases and sinterability as related to the CaO-ZrO(2)phase diagram
Evis, Zafer; Doremus, RH (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-03-01)
Composites of hydroxylapatite ( HA) with pure zirconia, and 3 and 8% Y2O3 in zirconia, were pressure-less sintered at temperatures from 900 to 1300 degrees C, and hot-pressed at 1200 degrees C in argon gas atmosphere for 1 h. The reactions and transformations of phases were monitored with X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. At sintering temperatures higher than 1000 degrees C, calcium from HA diffused into the zirconia phase, and the HA phase decomposed to tri-calcium phosphate (TCP). Above about 1200 d...
Electroluminescence from Er-doped Si-rich silicon nitride light emitting diodes
Yerci, Selçuk; DAL NEGRO, Luca (2010-08-23)
Electrical devices based on Erbium (Er) doping of silicon nitride have been fabricated by reactive cosputtering and intense, room temperature Er electroluminescence was observed in the visible (527, 550, and 660 nm) and near-infrared (980 and 1535 nm) spectral ranges at low injection voltages (< 5 V EL turn on). The electrical transport mechanism in these devices was investigated and the excitation cross section for the 1535 nm Er emission was measured under electrical pumping, resulting in a value (1.2x10(...
Two dimensional modeling of electromagnetic radiation and scattering by spectral element method
Mahariq, İbrahim; Tarman, Işık Hakan; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Engineering Sciences (2014)
In this thesis, the spectral element method is utilized in numerical modeling of two-dimensional, frequency-domain electromagnetic scattering and radiation problems. We perform domain truncation by the well-known perfectly matched layer (PML) and provide the corresponding formulation. The attenuation factor associated with the PML formulation is optimized so that the best accuracy is achieved for a wide range of Gauss- Legendre -Lobatto grids per wavelength. The optimality of the provided attenuation factor...
