Electron Holography of Charging Effect in ZrO2 Sintered Body
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of charging on a ZrO2 sintered body due to electron irradiation were investigated by means of electron holography. The charging effects were quantitatively evaluated as a function of the incident electron density. The ZrO2 sintered body was positively charged within a transmission electron microscope. By means of simulations taking into account reference wave modulation due to a long-range electric field, we were able to obtain the amount of charge on the ZrO2 sintered body. Further, fluctuation in the amount of charge on ZrO2 during electron irradiation was found through the presence of an irregular contrast in the reconstructed phase image.

Investigation of Effect of Electron Irradiation on Ionic Liquid Using Electron Holography
Ionic liquid (IL) has various attractive features and attract a great attention as new functional materials for applications. Recently, it has been reported that ILs were applied in scanning electron microscopic (SEM) observation because they do not vaporized even in vacuum condition [1]. Moreover, they can be also used as solvents and supporting films of nanoparticles for transmission electron...

The electromagnetic forces in various devices are mostly produced by the motion of electrons. Thus, it is of vital importance as well as significant interest to analyze the motion of electrons. After several trials, we have recently succeeded in visualizing the collective motion of secondary electrons by electron holography through the charging effect induced by electron irradiation on insulati...
متن کاملStrengthening and Toughening of Dental Porcelain by the Inclusion of an Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Reinforcing Phase
Dental porcelain composites reinforced and toughened by 20 wt.% tetragonal zirconia (3Y-TZP) were processed by hot pressing at 1000°C. Two types of particles were tested: yttriastabilized zirconia (ZrO2–3%Y2O3) agglomerates and pre-sintered yttria-stabilized zirconia (ZrO2–3%Y2O3) particles. The composites as well as the reinforcing particles were analyzed by the means of optical and Scanning E...

The microwave sintered zirconia ceramics with 0, 1, 3, and 5 wt% TiO2 addition at a low sintering temperature of 1300°C and a short holding time of 1 hour were investigated. Effect of contents of TiO2 addition on microstructure and mechanical properties of microwave sintered zirconia bioceramics was reported. In the sintered samples, the main phase is monoclinic zirconia (m-ZrO2) phase and mino...
متن کاملFracture toughness of yttria-stabilized zirconia sintered in conventional and microwave ovens.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The fabrication of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) dental prosthetic substructures requires an extended sintering process (8 to 10 hours) in a conventional oven. Microwave sintering is a shorter process (2 hours) than conventional sintering. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture toughness of 3 mol % Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 sintered in a conventional or micro...
