Abstract

Yttrium aluminium garnet (Y₃Al₅O₁₂–YAG) has been used in the industry for over 60 years now and lots of new ways for it’s synthesis have been discovered. However, since YAG is an inorganic material - it’s hard to make in a specific shape and size. This hinders it from being further applied in solid-state lasers (as microlasers), in light emitting diode’s (LED’s) (as making microLED’s would be more beneficial) and as light emitting material (phosphor). As currently YAG isn’t being structured on a commercial scale—this article showcases that it can be done with minimal effort and time. In this research, YAG precursors were synthesized, mixed with prepolymer and calcinated to obtain pure YAG. This work aims to show that it’s possible and also relatively easy to synthesize pre-structured YAG, describes it’s properties and also the characteristics of it’s lanthanide-doped versions.
