Abstract

Transparent La2Hf2O7 (LHO) ceramics were, for the first time, successfully fabricated from combustion-synthesized powders. Nanosized La2Hf2O7 powders were obtained through combustion reaction, using glycine or EDTA as a fuel. The as-made powders were isostatically pressed at 180 MPa and then sintered at 1850°C for 6 h in hydrogen atmosphere. The resulting ceramics have high optical transmittance.
