Abstract

At present materials science the ceramics based on apatite-like compound doped with REE have been extensively studied for use as phosphors and laser materials. Monophasic polycrystalline FAP and FAP:Eu3+ were obtained using the precipitation from aqueous solution method. As-obtained samples were compacted in tablets at 660 MPa and were sintered in oxygen atmosphere 600 – 1200 oC. XRD analysis showed that no additional phase are observed. The increase of sintering temperature leads to growth of nanocrystalline blocks size (L) – from 42 nm to 54 nm. It was observed that ceramic density arise up to 1100 oC – ρrel= 84.67 % and decrease at 1200 oC – ρrel=19.1 %. The ceramics porosity reaches maximum value at ρrel= 74.06 %. The optimal sintering temperature (t=1100 oC), at which the intensive luminescence of Eu3+ in FAP structure is observed, was found.
