YxZr1-xO2-x/2 Nanophase Powders Prepared by a Vaporization / Condensation Process in a Solar Furnace

  • Chapter
Nanophase Materials

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 260))

Abstract

Starting from a mixture of commercially available ZrO2 and Y2O3 powders, YxZr1-xO2-x/2 nanocristalline powders have been prepared by melting and vaporization under air in a solar image furnace and characterized by X-Ray Diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy . Depending on the starting powder mixture composition, the yttrium content in the nanophases can be controlled and the tetragonal or cubic phases can be obtained. The powders have a most probable grain radius of about 10 to 12 nm. The grains appear as isolated unstrained single crystals with polyhedral shapes.
