Segregation of anion (Cl−) impurities at transparent polycrystalline α-alumina interfaces

Paul Bowen, Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, Farhang Nabiei, Abhishek Tewari

Small amounts of anion impurities (e.g. Cl), which are incorporated during the synthesis of ceramic powders, can affect the properties and microstructure of the final sintered ceramic. The effect of anion impurities is a little studied and poorly understoo ...
