New Ceramic Nanocomposite Demonstrates High IR Transmittance, Thermal Stability
VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, Dec. 27, 2019 — A research team that includes scientists from Russia, Ukraine, and China has developed a Y2O3-MgO fine-grained composite ceramic material that transmits over 70% of light in the infrared (IR) range with wavelengths up to 6000 nm. Ceramic nanocomposites are considered promising materials for operations in the IR range and are known for their advanced thermal stability, thermal conductivity, and mechanical stability, the researchers said. The mechanical and optical properties of the
