The phase evolution studies of 16 mol% calcium-doped zirconia have been carried out after
sintering the samples at 800° C, 1000° C, 1200° C, and 1400° C. The X-ray diffraction …

In this study, zirconia (ZrO 2) and dysprosia-stabilized zirconia (DySZ) nanocrystals were
synthesized using a chemical coprecipitation method. The crystal structure and …

Zirconia (ZrO 2) in the tetragonal phase finds a wide variety of applications. Oxygen vacancy
and lattice strain are known to play a crucial role in the stabilization of these ceramics in the …

This study investigates the electrical and mechanical properties of a Lu 2 O 3–Y 2 O 3–ZrO 2
system (ZrO 2 co-doped with Lu 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3) and evaluates its possibility for use as a …

In this study, we investigate the effect of surface biasing during high-power impulse
magnetron sputter deposition of non-conductive zirconium dioxide films on substrates with …
