Abstract

Optical and luminescence properties of transparent nanosized cerium doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG:Ce) ceramics have been studied. YAG:Ce nanoceramics were obtained by means of low temperature and high pressure (LTHP) sintering method. Nanoceramic samples were sintered in the 2-8 GPa pressure range, whereas Ce3+ concentration was varied in the 0.5-5 at. % range. It is shown that, in contrast to the single crystal, a strong rise of absorption coefficient was detected already at wavelength shorter than 400 nm in all nanoceramic samples studied. Furthermore, in nanoceramic samples unusual UV emission band near 3.1 eV was observed, which is not observed in the YAG:Ce single crystal. High pressure applied during nanoceramics sintering leads to significant changes in their optical and luminescence properties.
