Abstract

Co-(0.7 wt%) and Pr-(2.0, 3.5 or 5.0 wt%) doped cubic zirconia ($ZrO_2:Y_2O_3=50:50wt%$) single crystals grown by a skull melting method were heat-treated in $N_2$ at $1150^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs. The brown colored as-grown single crystals were changed into either dark brownish green, greenish blue and light green color after the heat treatment. Before and after the heat treatment, the YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) single crystals were cut for wafer form (${\phi}7.5mm{\times}t3mm$). The optical and structural properties were examined by UV-VIS spectrophotometer and X-ray diffraction. Absorption by $Co^{2+}$(${\fallingdotseq}589nm$: ${\Gamma}_8[^4A_2(^4F)]{\rightarrow}{\Gamma}_8+{\Gamma}_7[^4T_1(^4F)]$, ${\fallingdotseq}610nm$: ${\Gamma}_8[^4A_2(^4F)]{\rightarrow}{\Gamma}_8[^4T_1(^4F)]$], ${\fallingdotseq}661nm$: ${\Gamma}_8[^4A_2(^4F)]{\rightarrow}{\Gamma}_6[^4T_1(^4F)]$]) and $Pr^{3+}$(${\fallingdotseq}450nm$: ${^3}H{_4}-{^3}P{_2}$, ${\fallingdotseq}473nm$: ${^3}H{_4}{\rightarrow}{^3}P{_1}$, ${\fallingdotseq}484nm$: ${^3}H{_4}{\rightarrow}{^3}P{_0}$), change of ionization energy and lattice parameter were confirmed.

Co(0.7 wt%)와 Pr(2.0, 3.5 및 5.0 wt%)이 첨가된 큐빅지르코니아($ZrO_2:Y_2O_3=50:50wt%$) 단결정을 스컬용융법으로 성장 후 $N_2$ 분위기에서 $1150^{\circ}C$로 5시간 동안 열처리 하였다. 갈색의 단결정들은 각각 어두운 갈녹색, 녹청색 또는 밝은 녹색으로 변화되었다. 열처리 전 후의 YSZ 단결정들을 직경 7.5, 두께 3 mm의 웨이퍼로 연마 하여 UV-VIS 분광광도계 및 XRD(X-ray diffraction)로 광학적 또는 구조적 특성 분석을 행하였다. $Co^{2+}$(약 589 nm: ${\Gamma}_8[^4A_2(^4F)]{\rightarrow}{\Gamma}_8+{\Gamma}_7[^4T_1(^4F)]$, 약 610 nm: ${\Gamma}_8[^4A_2(^4F)]{\rightarrow}{\Gamma}_8[^4T_1(^4F)]$, 약 661 nm: ${\Gamma}_8[^4A_2(^4F)]{\rightarrow}{\Gamma}_6[^4T_1(^4F)]$$Pr^{3+}$(약 450 nm: ${^3}H{_4}-{^3}P{_2}$, 약 473 nm: ${^3}H{_4}{\rightarrow}{^3}P{_1}$, 약 484 nm: ${^3}H{_4}{\rightarrow}{^3}P{_0}$)에 의한 흡수, 이온화에너지 및 격자상수 변화를 확인하였다.
