Abstract
An alumina sintered body according to the present invention has a degree of c-plane orientation of 90% or more as determined by Lotgering's method from an X-ray diffraction profile obtained by irradiating a plate surface with X-rays in a range of 2θ=20° to 70°. The alumina sintered body has no pores when a cross-sectional surface formed in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface is polished using an Arion beam and a mask and is examined under a scanning electron microscope at a magnification of 5,000 times. The alumina sintered body has a total mass fraction of impurity elements other than Mg and C of 100 ppm or less. This alumina sintered body has a high degree of orientation, high density, and high purity and thus has a higher optical translucency than those known in the art.
