Estimating the term…
A nanocomposite optical ceramic (NCOC) material. The material having a first solid phase, a second solid phase, and a third solid phase. The first solid phase has first solid phase grains no larger than 5 μm, and each first solid phase grain has a first solid phase grain boundary. The second solid phase has second solid phase grains no larger than 5 μm, and each second solid phase grain has a second solid phase grain boundary. The third solid phase has a doping agent. The doping agent is less than 5 atomic % soluble in the first solid phase and the second solid phase. At least part of the third solid phase is situated at the second solid phase grain boundary.
A method for producing a nanocomposite optical ceramic (NCOC) material, the method comprising:
