Abstract
We investigated superfast densification of nanocrystalline MgO powders by spark plasma sintering (SPS) between 700 °C and 825 °C under applied pressures of 100and 150 MPa. Fully-dense transparent nanocrystalline MgO with a 52-nm average grain size was fabricated at 800 °C and 150 MPa for 5 min. In-line transmissionsof 40% and 60% were measured compared to MgO single crystal, for the yellowand red wavelengths, respectively. Densification occurs by particles sliding over each other; the nanometric grain size and pores lead to the optical transparency. The light brownish color of the nanocrystalline MgO is due to the oxygen vacancy color centers, originating from the reducing atmosphere of the SPS process.
