The goal of this research was to develop the understanding of the structure/property relations in Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}-stabilized cubic ZrO{sub 2} (Y-CSZ) single crystals with emphasis on the potential use of these materials as a fibrous reinforcement for high temperature structural applications. In particular, the issues addressed include: (i) determination of the structure of as-grown Y-CSZ and its relation to the deformation behavior and (ii) initial fiber growth and evaluation. Selected papers are indexed separately for inclusion in the Energy Science and Technology Database.
