Raman spectra of tetragonal zirconia were studied for the systems ZrO[sub 2]-Y[sub 2]O[sub 3], ZrO[sub 2]-CeO[sub 2], ZrO[sub 2]-Y[sub 2]O[sub 3]-Nb[sub 2]O[sub 5], and ZrO[sub 2]-Y[sub 2]O[sub 3]-Ta[sub 2]O[sub 5]. There was no change in the Raman bands for tetragonal zirconia in the ZrO[sub 2]-Y[sub 2]O[sub 3] system as a function of Y[sub 2]O[sub 3] content. On the other hand, in the ternary systems, the Raman lines corresponding to the stretching modes of two sets of cation-oxygen bonds shifted to greater wave number as either Nb[sub 2]O[sub 5] or Ta[sub 2]O[sub 5] content increased in Y[sub 2]O[sub 3]-stabilized tetragonal zirconia. This difference was interpreted by local bonding environments of the pentavalent cations, which were supposed to occupy tetrahedral sites in tetragonal zirconia solid solutions.
