Abstract

The Al₂O₃-Nd₂O₃-SiO ₂-Y₂O₃ pseudoquaternary system was thermodynamically modeled with a focus on the phase equilibria concerning the sintering of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet, Nd:YAG ((Y _1-xNd_x)₃Al₅O₁₂). The Nd₂O₃-SiO₂ and Nd₂O ₃-Y₂O₃ systems were evaluated. Due to the lack of experimental thermochemical data, first-principles calculations were used to predict the enthalpy of formation of Nd₂SiO₅ and the enthalpy of mixing of Nd in YAG. Isothermal sections of the Al₂O ₃-Nd₂O₃-SiO₂, Al₂O ₃-Nd₂O₃-Y₂O₃, and Nd ₂O₃-SiO₂-Y₂O₃ pseudoternary systems are presented.
