The dense Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) piezoelectric ceramics have been prepared at a low temperature by a spark plasma sintering (SPS) method without excess PbO addition and their structural features including domains were systematically investigated. The fine microstructure consisting of submicrometer-sized grains as well as relative density reaching 99% was achieved by sintering at 950°C which is 400°C lower than that of pressureless sintering (PLS). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results confirmed that the sintered specimen contained very dense domain structures inside each grain, showing the nanoscaled single-domains even at the small grains (below 100 nm). The SPS-processed PZT exhibited better piezoelectric properties than those of the PLS-processed one, which is attributed to its fine-microstructural feature.

The spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique was employed to investigate the fabrication of cerium-doped lutetium orthosilicate (Ce:Lu2SiO5, LSO) polycrystalline scintillation ceramics starting from nanosized Ce:LSO powders synthesized by sol-gel processing. Fully-densed polycrystalline Ce:LSO ceramics with fine grains were fabricated on optimal sintering conditions of 1350°C for 5 min under pressure of 50 MPa. Translucent monolithic Ce:LSO ceramic sample was obtained with excellent luminescent characteristics after being annealed in air at 1000°C for 15 hrs. Under 360 nm UV excitation, a broad emission peak centered at 425 nm was detected for Ce:LSO ceramic, with a short decay time of only 9.67 ns. The luminescence intensity of annealed sample(doped by 0.5mol% Ce3+) is 3 times greater than that of BGO crystal under X-ray excitation. The good luminescent characteristics make Ce:LSO polycrystalline ceramics a promising scintillator candidate with high performance for radiation detection in future.
