Effect of Amorphous Si₃N₄ Nanoparticles on the Infrared Transmittance of α-Al₂O₃ by Mahdi Darabi, Ehsan Mohammad Sharifi, Reza Vafaie, Akbar Eshaghi, Mohammad Reza Loghman Estraki

“…Furthermore, the role of the dispersing agent in improving slurry homogeneity and particle distribution was evaluated.Materials and Methods: The composite materials were synthesized via a chemical precipitation process, wherein alumina powder was mixed with Si3N4 nanoparticles, magnesium nitrate, lanthanum nitrate, and a dispersing agent in an aqueous solution.Ultrasonic waves were employed to enhance particle dispersion, and the slurry pH was adjusted to 10 to stabilize the suspension.Subsequent to powder preparation, spark plasma sintering was utilized to achieve densification and control grain growth. The microstructural and optical characteristics of the samples were then analyzed using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy.Results: The findings indicated that the incorporation of Si3N4 nanoparticles (0.1 wt%) and a dispersing agent (2 wt%) led to an enhancement in infrared transmittance, with a maximum achieved of 85% within the 5–6 µm wavelength range. …”
