Abstract
Cubic Zirconia single crystals having changeable color with light source were grown by skull melting method. Strong absorption of yellow color region light by Co and Nd and the absorption in violet color region by Fe led the color change from blue-green to red-purple with the light source from fluorescent to incandescent lamp. Color of crystals varied not only by the dopants but yttria contents and the conditions far heat treatment.
