| Abstract: | Nanometer-sized Al2O3 particles were successfully synthesized as crystalline inclusions by mixing both components to form the nanometer-sized particles and the (Sc,Lu)2(WO4)3 matrices in a crystal lattice by preparing a solid solution of (Sc,Lu)2(WO4)3 and Al2(MoO4)3 and then decomposing the solid solution. The particles were dispersed uniformly and without agglomeration, which is commonly observed with conventional preparation techniques. The average particle size of the Al2O3 was 3.5 nm, and the standard deviation was estimated to be 1.1 nm. |
