High Resolution Electron Microscopy Study of Phase Composition of Yttrium Oxide Nanoparticles

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Phase composition and structural features of the yttrium oxide nanoparticles produced by laser evaporation are studied. Initial and annealed samples were examined. Initial samples contain several phases. The phase composition is found to depend on the particle size. Small crystallites (5–12 nm) possess a FCC lattice (Fm-3m) and larger ones have a BCC lattice (Ia-3). Annealing at temperatures T = 930–1000°C allowed to obtain samples containing only particles with the BCC lattice that may be used for the manufacture of transparent ceramics.
