Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="jace12574-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Transparent 0.9Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–0.1PbTiO₃ (PMN‐PT) based ceramics were prepared by a conventional solid‐state synthesis without using a hot‐press method. The ceramics became transparent when they were sintered in an O₂ atmosphere. The optical transmission increased with decreasing diameter of the calcined powder, which was controlled by the size of zirconia ball‐milling media. Substitution of 3 mol% La for Pb in PMN‐PT further increased the optical transmission to 68% at the wavelength of 2000 nm, which was comparable to that of hot‐pressed Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃‐PbTiO₃ based transparent ceramics.</p> </abstract>
