Abstract
A technique has been developed for the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of lutetium oxide (Lu2O3) powders using citric acid, glycine, and lutetium acetate as fuels. We have carried out thermodynamic analysis of synthesis conditions and examined the effect of the nature of the fuel on the properties of the resultant powders. Using vacuum sintering at a temperature of 1780°C and powders prepared with glycine as a fuel and containing 25 mol % yttrium oxide and 5 mol % lanthanum oxide as sintering aids, we have obtained transparent lutetium oxide-based ceramics.
