Abstract: A process of synthesizing a yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) powder. The process comprises introducing powders of yttria and silica to form a powder mixture, wherein alumina is not added to the powder mixture. Milling the powder mixture in the presence of an alumina grinding media and a solvent forms a powder slurry. Processing the powder slurry forms a green compact. Calcining the green compact at a temperature of from 1100° C. to 1650° C. for greater than 8 hours in air to 50% or less theoretical density forms a YAG compact of at least 92 wt % Y3Al5O12. Milling the YAG compact, without a grinding media, and drying produces the YAG powder. Processes further include introducing a dopant to the powder mixture to produce doped YAG powder.

Abstract: A precursor structure is provided. The precursor structure has the following chemical formula: ( La 2 ? Zr 2 - x ? M x ? O 7 ) · 1 2 ? ( La 2 - y ? M y ? ? O 3 ) , wherein M is a trivalent ion or a pentavalent ion, M? is a bivalent ion, x=0-1, y=0-1.5, and the precursor structure includes a pyrochlore phase.
