Abstract: Y1.34Gd0.60Eu0.06O3 nanopowders with high sinterability were prepared via a complex co-precipitation
method. The nanopowder obtained has an average particle size of 30~40nm, weakly agglomerate after calcining at 850℃ for 2h. After dry-pressed and
isostatic pressed at 200MPa, the green body can be sintered to transparency at 1800℃ for 6h. The as-sintered transparent ceramics show
intense red luminescence at 610nm under 250nm UV excitation, corresponding to 5D0-7F2 transition of Eu3+ ion.

Key words: Y1.34Gd0.60Eu0.06O3, transparent ceramics, luminescent properties
