Abstract
In recent years, transparent terbium gallium garnet (TGG) ceramics have garnered significant interest for their application in high-power Faraday isolators. However, challenges in achieving high transparency have led researchers to explore the addition of various sintering aids as a key strategy to enhance the optical quality of TGG ceramics. Through this work, the effect of germanium (Ge) addition on the microstructure and optical transparency of TGG magneto-optical ceramics was investigated. TGG powders were synthesized by the co-precipitation method, and the source Ge was Ge ethoxide added through a ball-milling step. Transparent TGG ceramics were prepared by air pre-sintering combined with hot isostatic pressing post-treatment and subsequent annealing. The ceramics containing 200 ppm Ge exhibit optimal transmittance of 81.3% at 1064 nm (a value of theoretical transmittance), the Verdet constant was -133.0 radT-1m(-1) at 633 nm. When the addition of Ge reaches 600 ppm, a secondary phase can be observed on the surface of ceramic. Subsequently, TGG ceramics prepared from 1425 degrees C to 1500 degrees C with 200 ppm of Ge were analyzed, which revealed that the optimal pre-sintering temperature is 1450 degrees C.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
