Due to large grain sizes, the biological properties of the conventional calcium phosphate
(Ca–P) bioceramics are limited to a great extent. Progresses in nanotechnological …

ZrO2 ceramic exhibits the characteristics of high hardness, good thermochemical stability,
desirable biocompatibility, and unique stress‐activated tetragonal to monoclinic …

Local atomic structures of Zr and dopant cations in zirconia solid solutions with Fe2O3,
Ga2O3, Y2O3, and Gd2O3 have been determined. The Zr ions in both partially stabilized …

Superionic conductors are compounds that exhibit exceptionally high values of ionic
conductivity within the solid state. Indeed, their conductivities often reach values of the order …

The microscopic mechanism leading to stabilization of cubic and tetragonal forms of zirconia
(ZrO2) is analyzed by means of a self-consistent tight-binding model. Using this model …

We present the mechanism and the extent of increase in the oxygen anion diffusivity in
Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) under biaxial lattice strain. The oxygen vacancy migration paths …

Nanostructured CeO2–ZrO2 mixed oxides have attracted great interest in the past 10 years,
in particular as redox or oxygen storage promoters in the three-way catalysts. However, it …

X‐ray absorption spectra at Zr‐K, Ce‐L111 and Ge‐K edges in ZrO2–CeO2 and ZrO2–
GeO2 solid solutions have been measured at 10 K. Both Ce and Ge substitute for Zr in the …

Three types of CeO2–ZrO2 (Ce: Zr= 1: 1 molar ratio) compounds with different oxygen
storage/release capacities (OSCs) were characterized by means of the Ce K-edge and Zr K …

X‐ray absorption spectra at the Zr‐, Y‐, and Nb‐K edges of ZrO2‐YNBO4 solid solutions
have been measured at 10 K to determine the local atomic structures. Both Y and Nb cations …
