Abstract

Rhombohedral twinning is responsible for loss of c-axis compressive strength of sapphire at high temperatures. Loss of strength is shown to be due to cracking caused by intersecting twins. Single crystal sapphire was doped with both titanium and titanium ions in concentrations from 0.05 percent wt. to 0.25 percent wt. It is shown that both valence state and concentration of titanium are important is lowing down twin boundary movement and increasing the c-axis compressive strength of sapphire. Titanium doping did not cause any change in thermal conductivity and IR transmission of sapphire.
