Microstructural effects on hardness and optical transparency of birefringent aluminosilicate nanoceramics

Abstract Transparent nanoceramics, synthesized at extreme conditions of high pressure and temperature, are new classes of materials highly attractive for photonic applications, such as optical windows, which require additional increased hardness and toughness. In this study, mechanical properties of...
