Moderately dispersed nano Dy2O3

Abstract

Dy2O3 particles of a nanoparticle scale have beneficial properties for ceramic and electronic uses. Disclosed herein are moderately dispersed Dy2O3 particles having regular morphology and lateral size ranging from about 10 nm to 1 μm. The Dy2O3 particles may exhibit a narrow particle size distribution such that the difference between D10 and D90 is about 0.1 μm to 1 μm. Further disclosed are processes of producing these moderately dispersed Dy2O3 particles. These processes do not include grinding to obtain the particles. Also disclosed herein are uses for these Dy2O3μ particles.
