Influence of rare earths on the sintering of zirconia-yttria

Yttria stabilized zirconia sintered by silicate glass phase with addition of ytterbium or gadolinium was investigated. The grain growth rate was found to be higher in the gadolinium doped samples. The glass phase of the ytterbium doped sample showed partial crystallization on cooling. Grain conducti...
