Abstract

Various transparent ceramics have been fabricated by different processing techniques. Previously, it was accepted that, to be transparent ceramics, materials should have an isotropic lattice structure, i.e., cubic structure. However, as demonstrated in this chapter, some non cubic-structured materials can also be processed into transparent ceramics, such as tetragonal ferroelectric ceramics and hexagonal alumina ceramics. In addition, transparent ceramics have been derived from glasses through thermal annealing. This chapter is aimed to summarize transparent ceramics that have been reported in the open literature.
