Optically transparent polycrystalline magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl2O4) has been fabricated by hot-pressing followed by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing). The effect of microstructure on the light transmittance of the sintered MgAl2O4 is discussed. The sintered MgAl2O4 with a thickness of 2 mm has a maximum light transmittance of similar to60 and similar to70% in the UV-visible and near-IR wavelength regions, respectively, although it contains microcracking along its grain boundaries. Light transmittance losses in the sintered MgAl2O4 are explained in terms of light scattering at these microcracked grain boundaries: the light transmittance was determined to decrease with increase in the microcracked grain boundary surface area due to pronounced scattering. The light transmittance is well correlated with microcracked grain boundary surface area per unit volume. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Effect of chemical composition on the optical properties and fracture toughness of transparent magnesium aluminate spinel ceramics Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Dlouhy, Ivo; Kagawa, Yutaka (2005-05-01) Polycrystalline transparent magnesium aluminate "spinel" ceramics were fabricated by hot-pressing and hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) using commercially available MgO and Al2O3 Powders. Al2O3 content of spinet was systematically changed that can be expressed as MgO.nAl(2)O(3) with n = 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. UV/visible and near-IR wavelength region light reflection and transmission behaviors of the spinet ceramics were quantitatively correlated to their microstructure to account for the optical quality of the fab...
Effect of isomorphic atom substitution on the lattice parameters and the optical absorption edge of TIGaSe2-TllnSe2 mixed crystals Hasanlı, Nızamı (2006-05-01) The variation of lattice parameters of TlGaSe2-TlInSe 2 mixed crystals with composition have been investigated by using of X-ray diffraction technique. For the mixed crystals studied, a structural phase transition (monoclinic to tetragonal) due to atom substitution is observed when the sum of the tetrahedral covalent radii of the Ga(In) and the Se atoms in Ga(In)Se4 tetrahedra reaches a critical value of about 0.254 nm. From transmission and reflection measurements, the compositional dependence of the indir...

Effect of thermal neutron irradiation on the elastic constants of tourmaline Özkan, H. (Informa UK Limited, 1987-2) The effect of thermal neutron irradiation due to the B10(n, α)Li7 reaction on the elastic wave velocities and the elastic moduli of tourmaline crystals has been studied. Oriented tourmaline samples have been irradiated with thermal neutrons to 7.6 × 1018n/cm2 and the elastic wave velocities determined by ultrasonic measurements. The elastic wave velocities are not affected by thermal neutron irradiation below 8 × 10l7n/cm2, effects starting to appear at approximately 1 × l018n/cm2 with more important decrea...
Effect of isomorphic atom substitution on lattice parameters of TlBX2-type mixed crystals Özkan, Hüsnü; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Çulfaz, Ali (1996-12-01) The variation of the lattice parameters of TlBX2-type mixed crystals with composition have been investigated by X-ray diffraction technique. The lattice anisotropy (c/a) of the mixed crystals changes linearly depending on substitution of the atoms located both at the centre and at the vertices of the BX4 tetrahedra. For some of the mixed crystals studied, structural phase transition (monoclinic ⇌ tetragonal) is observed due to atom substitution when the sum of tetrahedral covalent radii of the B and X atoms...
