Abstract

Transparent sintered ceramics of spinel oxides compounds have attracted a lot of attention due to their expected structural stability in extreme environments. In this work, the evolution of structural defects was observed in fine-grain transparent MgAl\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) ceramics following consolidation of spinel powders via Spark Plasma Sintering and heat treatment under air. A dark discoloration due to a carbon contamination and partial reduction during the sintering process was suppressed via post-annealing under air. The correlated EPR and cathodoluminescence analyses showed significance of the Mn\(^{4+}\) ions reduction after consolidation of powders.
