Homogeneous nucleation of corundum nanocrystallites by rapid heating of aluminum formate hydroxide-based precursor powder

Abstract The high density nucleation of α-Al2O3 nanocrystallites was observed by rapid heating of the aluminum formate hydroxide-based precursor powder at 1200 °C for 50 s. The nucleation of α-Al2O3 nanocrystallites with less 10 nm in size from high purity aluminum oxide matrix has not been observed...
