THE ELECTRICAL BEHAVIOR OF REFRACTORY OXIDES III.

Abstract

The research was directed toward achieving a more fundamental understanding of charge and mass transport mechanisms in refractory metal oxides. Special research apparatus and instrumentation was developed in order to carry out the experimental program. The defect structure of tetragonal ZrO2 was studied by investigating the conductivity, transference number and the monoclinictetragonal phase change. Measurements of electrical conductivity and thermoluminescence of Y2O3 are presented. The results of thermogravimetric studies and electron microscopy work are also presented. (Author)
