Ce doped yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG:Ce) was synthesized by LiF assisted sol–gel combustion method. The thermal behavior, composition, and microstructure feature of the precursor were studied by TG/DTA, XRD, PL, and SEM. The using of LiF in the sol–gel combustion process was helpful to decrease th...
