Synthesis and phase stability of cotunnite-type zirconia

Journal Article · · J. Am. Ceram. Soc.; (United States)
The phase boundary between two high-pressure phases (ortho I and ortho II) of ZrO/sub 2/ was obtained by synthesis experiments using a 6-8 anvil-type device. The phase boundary was linearly approximated, its slope being +400 K/GPa. The phase with cotunnite (PbCl/sub 2/) structure (ortho II) appeared above 15 GPa. A single phase of Y-doped ZrO/sub 2/ with the cotunnite structure was also synthesized, but the stabilized tetragonal phase remained unchanged after the treatments at conditions where the ortho I phase forms in pure ZrO/sub 2/.
