Notes:
The transparent nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 spinel ceramics were synthesized at lowtemperatureand high-pressure conditions with low-cost nano-sized MgAl2O4 powder. The sinteringcharacteristics of transparent nano-ceramics were investigated at 500~700oC under 2 ~ 5 GPa. Theoptimal sintering condition for preparing transparent nano-ceramics was determined. The microstructureand phase composition of powder, as well as the microstructures, morphologies, optical properties,densities and mechanical properties of synthetic ceramics were investigated. The grain sizes of thesynthetic ceramics are less than 100 nm, far smaller than those of usual transparent micron-ceramics, andthe average grain size depends on the pressure and temperature. The transmittance at the saturationplateau can near 80%. The relative densities of all samples are less than 99%, however, they are highlytransparent. The toughness, derived from energy dissipation, of the transparent nano-ceramics wasinvestigated and was compared with that of transparent micron-ceramic
