Phase composition-dependent physical and mechanical properties of YbxZr1-xO2-x/2 solid solutions

The paper represents a detailed insight into the correlation between changes of the phase composition of crystalline YbxZr1-xO2-x/2 solid solutions and their structural, electrical, mechanical and optical properties. Particularly, the effect of the crystal growth conditions and stabilizer amount in the range of 1.5-13.8 mol% of Yb2O3 are studied in terms of Rietveld analysis of…
