Abstract

Ce:SrHfO 3 ceramics possess a strong stopping power to high-energy rays due to their high density and high effective atomic number. However, it is difficult to obtain transparent Ce:SrHfO 3 ceramics via traditional sintering method because of its orthogonal structure. In this work, Ce,Y:SrHfO 3 ceramics were prepared by long-time vacuum sintering and short-time vacuum pre-sintering combined with hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The Ce,Y:SrHfO 3 powders with a pure phase and a mean particle size of 152 nm were prepared by calcining at 1200
