Cation interdiffusion in cubic C-type solid solutions was investigated for the polycrystalline systems Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} {minus} Zr{sub x}Hf{sub 1 {minus} x}O{sub 2} and Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} {minus} ZrO{sub 2} in the small-grain, deep-penetration conditions at 1615{degrees} to 1822{degrees}C. Lattice and grain-boundary diffusion parameters were calculated from cation concentration distributions by using Oishi and Ichimura's grain-boundary diffusion equation. The results indicate that Zr {minus} Y and Zr {minus} Hf interdiffusion coefficients decreased with an increase in Y content. The cation diffusivities were lower in the C-type cubic than in fluorite-type cubic solid solutions. The results are compared with diffusivities in other C-type cubic oxides.
