정방정형 지르코니아를 상온에서 안정화시키는 이트리아와, 지르코니아의 저온 열화을 억제하고 파괴강도의 증가에 기여하는 알루미나를 YAG(5Al$_2$O$_3$.3Y$_2$O$_3$) 졸의 형태로 m-ZrO$_2$와 알루미나의 혼합 slurry에 첨가하여, m-ZrO$_2$를 yttria 안정화 지르코니아로의 in situ 변환과 동시에 알루미나의 분산도를 향상시키고자 하였다. 20wt% 알루미나-지르코니아(YSZ)의 복합체 (20ATZ)를 1450$^{\circ}$~150$0^{\circ}C$에서 상압소결하여 0.5$mu extrm{m}$ 이하의 균일한 미세구조로 얻었다. 이 복합체는 정방정형 지르코니아와 $\alpha$-알루미나 상으로만 이루어지었고, 소결밀도 >99% TD이었다. 제조된 복합체의 파괴강도는 810 MPa로, 고상법으로 $Al_2$O$_3$와 3Y-ZrO$_2$분말로부터 제조된 시편의 682 MPa 보다 약 20% 향상되었고, 파괴인성은 5.52 MPa.m$^{1}$2/로 고상법으로 제조된 시편의 5.39 MPa.m$^{1}$2/과 비슷하였다.

이트리아 안정화 지그코니아(Yttria-stabilized zirconia, YSZ)는 이트리아의 첨가에 의해 지르코니아에 생성된 산소 빈자리(oxygen vacancy)로 $O^{2-}$ 이온이 전도성을 가지게 되는 특징이 알려지면서 최근 고체산화물 연료전지연구에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다.[1] YSZ를 기반으로한 고체산화물 연료전지의 특성을 개선하기 위해서는 YSZ 내에서의 산소교환 메카니즘을 이해하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 $^{18}O2$ 추적 기체(tracer gas) 이용하여 확산된 YSZ박막에서의 산소 확산 거동을 초미세이차이온질량분석기(Nano Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, Nano SIMS)를 이용하여 조사하였다. Nano SIMS는 작은 입사 이온빔의 크기를 구현할 수 있고, 다중검출기를 이용하여 높은 질량분해능으로 간섭없이 산소동위원소를 동시에 모두 검출할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 발표에서는 Nano SIMS를 이용한 YSZ박막에서의 산소 거동 평가 결과를 상세하게 보일 것이다.

Phase stability and isothermal phase transformation during gaging at 25$0^{\circ}C$ were investigated in yttria stabilized zirconia powders prepared from hydrolysis of zirconium isopropoxide. The stability of tetragonal phase at room temperature in zirconia powder was decreased with calcination temperature but increased with the addition of yttria content. During aging at 25$0^{\circ}C$ in humid atmosphere isothermal phase transformation occurred in tetragonal zirconia powder stabilized by constraint effect not by alloying effect and grain size effect. Many twins and microcrackings were found in transformed monomlinic zirconia particles.

Cobalt ($Co^{2+}$) doped yttria stabilized cubic zirconia (YSZ, $Y_2O_3\;:\;25{\sim}50wt%$) single crystals grown by a skull melting method were heat-treated in $N_2\;at\;1000^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs. The reddish brown single crystals were changed into either violet or blue color, respectively. Before and after heat treatment, the Co-doped YSZ crystals cut for wafers (${\phi}6.5{\times}t\;2mm$) and round brilliant (${\phi}10mm$). The optical and structural properties were examined by UV-VIS spectrophotometer and XRD. These results are analyzed absorption by $Co^{2+}\;(^4A_2(^4F)\to{^4P})\;and\;Co^{3+}$, change of energy gap and lattice parameter.

Yttia-doped ceria-stabilized ziconia polycrystals(Ce-TZP) was prepared by dipping method and its microstructure was investigated. By controlling doped-yttria content and annealing condition, yttria-doped Ce-TZP showed the microstructure with irregular grain shape and undulated grain boundary. Irregularity of grain shape increased with the amount of yttria doped, and severe undulated grain boundary was observed mainly at the surface region. In the case of yttria-doped Ce-TZP annealed at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 2h after two dipping times into yttrium nitrate solution of 0.2M, it showed irregular grain shape both at the surface and at the interior region as well as the most severe irregularity. Hot pressed specimen had mean grain size of 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ and undulated grain boundary. All specimens with irregular grain shape were retained the tetragonal phase. The fracture toughness of yttria-doped Ce-TZP with irregular grain shape was over the value of 17.6MPa.m(sup)1/2.

In order to evaluate the properties of the sintered zirconia for optical ferrule, specimens were prepared at 1350, 1400 and $1450^{\circ}C$ using starting materials supplied by A, B and C providers. Crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical strength were tested as a function of sintering temperature. Crystallinity of the sintered specimens was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. A field emission-scanning electron microscope was used for studying the microstructure after sintering. Bending strength and Vickers' hardness were also examined by universial tester and Vickers' hardness tester, respectively. The specimen B sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was favorable because of its high tetragonality and good mechanical strength for practical usage.

Hydroxyapatite-yttria stabilized zirconia bioceramics containing fine zirconia particles were prepared as 3-layered functionally graded materials (FGMs) using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot pressing (HP) apparatuses. The pretreatment of the raw hydroxyapatite promoted the sinterability of hydroxyapatite. The maximum density of pretreated FGM composites could be obtained at lower temperature than that for he untreated FGM samples. No decomposition from hydroxyapatite to three calcium phosphate (TCP) was observed in FGMs of HAp-$ZrO_2$ sintered below $1200^{\circ}C$ for 8 min under 10 MPa by SPS. However, the transformation of the tetragonal zirconia to the cubic modification had occurred in FGMs at this temperature. The presence of zirconia i.e. stress induced transformation of zirconia may be expected to enhance the mechanical properties of HAp-$ZrO_2$ FGM. The SPS is concluded as a better method to fabricated the FGM with dense and high strength compared with HP process.
