Cubic Zirconia: An Update

open access: yesGems & Gemology, 1981
Soon after i t was first marketed in 1976, colorless cubic zirconia became the dominant diamond imitation, with current production of approximately 60 million carats per year. Although cubic zirconia was discovered as a natural mineral in 1937, crystals usable for faceting were first produced ill 1969 and it was not until a practical sltull-melting ...

The brittle/ductile transition in cubic stabilised zirconia

open access: yesJournal of the European Ceramic Society, 1994
Abstract Cubic zirconia has a smooth brittle/ductile transition above 800°C at a loading rate of 1·2 × 10 −4 MPa m s −1 . Pre-stressing at 950°C increases the room temperature fracture toughness in a controllable manner. The toughness increase is caused by dislocation shielding of the crack tip and may be predicted using a model ...

Effects of fission product accumulation in cubic zirconia [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2000
Yttria stabilized cubic-zirconia (YSZ) is a promising candidate material for both inert matrix fuel and waste form based on its high solubility for actinides, high chemical durability and its reported exceptional stability under radiation. Because the incorporation of fission and other transmutation products during burnup may significantly affect the ...

Study of Deposition of YBa2Cu3O7-x on Cubic Zirconia [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Films of YBa2Cu3O7-x have been grown on (100) cubic zirconia with 8 percent yttria by laser ablation from sintered targets of YBa2Cu3O7-x. The temperature of the zirconia substrate during growth was varied between 700 and 780 °C. The atmosphere during growth was 170 mtorr of oxygen.

Amorphization of cubic zirconia by caesium-ion implantation

open access: yesPhilosophical Magazine Letters, 2000
Stabilized cubic zirconia is a promising candidate material for use as an inert fuel matrix for burning' excess Pu in light-water nuclear reactors. Zirconia is also considered to be an excellent nuclear waste form for direct geological disposal. Both applications are based on zirconia's high solubility for actinides, high chemical durability and high ...

Stability of cubic zirconia and of stoichiometric zirconia nanoparticles

Physics of the Solid State, 2006
Using the electron density functional method, it is shown that the oxygen sublattice of cubic zirconia is unstable with respect to random displacements of oxygen atoms, which results in general instability of bulk cubic zirconia at low temperatures.
