Refractive index of cubic zirconia stabilized with yttria

Applied Optics, 1982
The optical transmission and indices of refraction for the cubic isomorph of ZrO(2) stabilized with 12.0-mol % Y(2)O(3) were measured at various temperatures and for a range of wavelengths from 0.36 to 5.1 microm. Index data to +/-5 x 10(-5) were fitted to a three-term Sellmeier equation. The value of N(D) = 2.15847.

Cubic zirconia as a dynamic compression window

Applied Physics Letters, 2008
Symmetric impact experiments were used to characterize the elastic response of ⟨100⟩ cubic zirconia crystals under shock wave compression. Elastic response was determined from the apparent velocity structure upon free surface release and the preservation of light passing through the compressed sample.

Electronic structure of cubic and tetragonal zirconia

Physical Review B, 1991
The electronic structure of tetragonal zirconia with {ital D}{sub 4{ital h}}{sup 15} symmetry is investigated using density-functional theory. The Kohn-Sham equations are solved by applying the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method.

Thermal behaviour of cesium implanted in cubic zirconia

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2009
Cesium ions were implanted at the energy of 300 keV in YSZ at 300 and 1025 K, with increasing fluences up to 5 x 10(16) cm(-2). Concentration profiles were determined by Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) measurements. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) experiments were achieved to determine the nature of the damages and to characterize a

Radiation damage in cubic-stabilized zirconia

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2013
Abstract Cubic yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) can be used for nuclear applications as an inert matrix for actinide immobilization or transmutation. Indeed, the large amount of native oxygen vacancies leads to a high radiation tolerance of this material owing to defect recombination occurring in the atomic displacement cascades induced by fast ...

Growth-controlled cubic zirconia microstructure in zirconia–titania nanolaminates

Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A: Vacuum, Surfaces, and Films, 2002
Zirconia microstructure selection (phase and crystallographic orientation) was studied in sputter-deposited multilayer films consisting of nanocrystalline ZrO2 and amorphous TiO2. The goal was to understand the mechanism for ZrO2 microstructure selection as a function of nanolaminate architecture (number of interfaces and ZrO2 and TiO2 layer thickness)

Interface Structure of an Epitaxial Cubic Ceria Film on Cubic Zirconia

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 2003
A cubic CeO2 (001) film with a thickness of ∼58 nm was grown epitaxially on Y2O3‐stablized cubic ZrO2 by oxygen‐plasma‐assisted molecular‐beam epitaxy (OPA‐MBE). The interface was characterized using high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The interface exhibited coherent regions separated by equally spaced misfit dislocations.

Electro‐Sintering of Yttria‐Stabilized Cubic Zirconia

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 2013
Electro‐sintering, i.e., electrically enhanced densification without the assistance of Joule heating, has been observed in 70% dense 8 mol% Y2O3‐stabilized ZrO2 ceramics at temperatures well below those for conventional sintering. Remarkably, full density can be obtained without grain growth under a wide range of conditions, including those standard ...

Ability of cubic zirconia to accommodate radiation damage

Scripta Materialia, 2010
Cubic zirconia irradiated with medium-energy heavy ions exhibits a three-step damage build-up. Each step is characterized by radiation-defect reorganization that occurs to lower the system energy. The last step at high irradiation fluence is characterized by a quite unusual decrease in the damage fraction, during which the formation of defect-depleted ...

Electron Irradiation Damage in Stabilized Cubic Zirconia

Materials Science Forum, 2005
We report the formation of anomalous defect clusters in yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ: 13 mol% Y2O3-ZrO2), which are a primary candidate for inert matrix fuels. Electron irradiation with 100 to 1000 keV is found to induce characteristic defect clusters.
