Abstract

Polycrystalline lutetium aluminum garnet (Lu3Al5O12) powders were prepared by a simple sol-gel combustion method using aluminum nitrate, lutetium oxide and citric acid as the starting materials. The XRD results showed that the amorphous precursor converted directly to pure LuAG at 900 °C. The TEM investigations revealed that the synthesized LuAG powders are nano-sized with an average particle size 20-30 nm.
