From zirconia to yttria: Sampling the YSZ phase diagram using sputter-deposited thin films

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films with varying composition between 3 mol% and 40 mol% have been prepared by direct-current ion beam sputtering at a substrate temperature of 300 °C, with ideal transfer of the stoichiometry from the target to the thin film and a high degree of homogeneity, a...
