Nanometer‐sized Al 2 O 3 particles were successfully synthesized as crystalline inclusions by mixing both components to form the nanometer‐sized particles and the (Sc,Lu) 2 (WO 4 ) 3 matrices in a crystal lattice by preparing a solid solution of (Sc,Lu) 2 (WO 4 ) 3 and Al 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 and then decomposing the solid solution. The particles were dispersed uniformly and without agglomeration, which is commonly observed with conventional preparation techniques. The average particle size of the Al 2 O 3 was 3.5 nm, and the standard deviation was estimated to be 1.1 nm.
