Abstract

Y (NO3)3.4H2O and TEOS were used as precursors and powdered form of Y2O3:SiO2 binary oxide was prepared by sol gel process. The powdered sample was annealed at 750o C temperature and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The sample analyzed by FTIR and TEM confirmed the grain size dependency on sintering temperature. Cubic structure of yttrium oxide nanocrystallite with average size ~ 21 nm was obtained at 750 o C (6h) along with crystalline silica..
