Abstract
The work is devoted to studying of Si4++Mg2+ complex additive for obtaining transparent YAG:Sm3+ ceramics. The processes of densification of the YAG:Si4+,Mg2+ model system, which provides control of solid-state sintering processes due to changes in the concentration of defects in both the anionic and cationic sublattice, were studied. The best result in terms of optical quality (T = 84%) was achieved with YAG:Sm3+ (3 at.%) ceramics doped with 0.071 at% of Si4+ ions and 0.044 at% of Mg2+ ions.
