Effect of Dopants on Zirconia Stabilization-An X-ray Absorption Study: I, Trivalent Dopants
Local atomic structures of Zr and dopant cations in zirconia solid solutions with Fe,03, Ga203, Y203, and Gd203 .have been determined. The Zr ions in both partially stabilized tetragonal and fully stabilized cubic zirconia have their own characteristic structures which are dopant-independent. The dopant cations substitute for Zr ions despite severe local distortions necessitated by the large di...
متن کاملThermal Stability of Nanostructurally Stabilized Zirconium Oxide
Nanostructurally stabilized zirconium oxide (NSZ) hard transparent fi lms were produced without chemical stabilizers by the ion beam assisted deposition technique (IBAD). A transmission electron microscopy study of the samples produced below 150 °C revealed that these fi lms are composed of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanocrystallites of diameters 7.5 ± 2.3 nm. X-ray and selected-area electron diffr...
متن کاملSynthesis of zirconia sol stabilized by trivalent cations (yttrium and neodymium or americium): a precursor for Am-bearing cubic stabilized zirconia.
Recent concepts for nuclear fuel and targets for transmuting long-lived radionuclides (minor actinides) and for the development of innovative Gen-IV nuclear fuel cycles imply fabricating host phases for actinide or mixed actinide compounds. Cubic stabilized zirconia (Zr, Y, Am)O(2-x) is one of the mixed phases tested in transmutation experiments. Wet chemical routes as an alternative to the pow...
متن کاملGrowth of zirconia and yttria-stabilized zirconia nanorod arrays assisted by phase transition
Well-aligned, densely distributed ZrO2 nanorod arrays were fabricated using a non-catalytic, templatefree metal–organic chemical vapour deposition process at a reaction temperature of 1000 C. The reaction temperature was found to play a key role in product morphology, with particle thin films obtained at 550 C and nanorod arrays produced at 1000 C. Increasing the reaction temperature led to the...
متن کاملEffect of Amorphous Silica Addition on Martensitic Phase Transformation of Zirconia and Investigation of its Tetragonal Structure Stability Mechanisms
This work is focused on the effect of amorphous SiO2 addition on the phase transformation and microstructural evolution of ZrO2 particles. Considering the structural similarities between the amorphous ZrO2 and its tetragonal structure, XRD results showed initial nucleation of metastable tetragonal ZrO2 from its amorphous matrix upon heat treatment. This metastable phase is unstable in pure ZrO2...
