In this paper, we report on the synthesis of terbium sesquioxide (Tb2O3) nanopowder by laser ablation a solid target material in Ar gas flow using an ytterbium fiber with average power 300 W. The as-synthesized nanoparticles featured spherical morphology, size 13 nm and substantially monoclinic crystal structure, whose symmetry was converted into cubic heat treatment at 850°C under vacuum. Pres...

Lanthanum phosphate, due to its interesting thermal and mechanical properties is a widely studied material for refractory applications. Sintering processes have already been proposed densify this drive microstructure. Inspired by recent progress on low temperature sintering, we investigate Spark Plasma (LowT-SPS) using hydrated precursor. First, lanthanum phosphate behaviour was TGA/DTA XRD ana...
