  • We newly propose that we may reuse scrap powders ($Z_rO_2$+8 mol%-$Y_2O_3$) as $Y_2O_3$-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) sintered products through sintering process at 1550$^{circ}C$ for 2hrs. We also prepared the reference specimen from fresh $Z_rO_2$+30 mol%-$Y_2O_3$ powder mixture (celluar type with 1㎛-length). The reference sample showed a dense microstructure with grains of $\sim$10㎛ in diameter, while the sintered sample from scrap powder showed irregular grains of 1$\sim$30 ㎛ in diameter. Through XRD analysis, we confirmed that the reference sample has mixed phases of $Y_2O_3$(cubic), $Z_{r0.8}O_{1.9}$(cubic), and $Z_rO_2$(monoclinic), while the sintered YSZ sample from scrap powder has only tetragonal phase. Moreover, the sintered YSZ from scrap powder showed vickers hardness and apparent density more than 70 and 4.11 g/cc, which implies that it can be suitable for structural material application.

  • The electrical conductivity of compositions in the system $CaO-ZrO_2$ has been measured by 2-probe tech-nique in the temperature range 350~75$0^{\circ}C$. The composition of maximum conductivity in this system is within the cubic solid-solution region close to low-calcia cubic solid-solution phase boundary. The results are as follows : 1) The maximum conductivity was found 13mol CaO in zirconia. 2) As the CaO content was increased from 13 to 21 mol% the electrical conductivity decreased for any given temperature and the activation energy increased. 3) As the firing temperature and soaking time was increased the electrical conductivity increased and activation energy decreased.

  • Colorless and transparent cubic zirconia($Zr_{0.73}Y_{0.27}O_{1.87}$) crystal has been synthesized by the Bridgman-Stock-bager method(also called Skull melting method). $Y_2O_3$ is used as stabilizer. The crystal shows a vitreous luster with a slight oily appearance. Under a polarizing microscope, it shows isotropic nature with no appreciable anisotropism. Mohs hardness value is measured to be $8{\sim}8\frac{1}{2}$ and specific gravity 5.85. Under ultraviolet light it shows a faint white glow. The crystal structure of yttria stabilized zirconia was determined, using single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques to be a cubic symmetry, space group $Fm\overline{3}m({O^5}_h)$ with $a=5.1552(5){\AA}$, $V=136.99(5){\AA}^3$, Z=4, and R=0.0488 for 29 unique reflections. Each zirconium atom is at the center of eight oxygen atoms situated at the corners of a surrounding cube and each oxygen atom is at the center of a tetrahedron of zirconium atoms. So a coordination of 8:4 holds in the structure.

  • Zirconia polycrystals co-doped with x mol% CaO and (10-x) mol% $Y_2O_3$ were prepared by solid state reaction method. The compositions were chosen for nominally the same oxygen vacancy concentration of 5 mol%. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated the formation of cubic zirconia by heat treatment at $1600^{\circ}C$. Impedance spectroscopy was applied to deconvolute the bulk and grain boundary response. Electrical conductivity was measured using the complex impedance technique from 516 to 874 K in air. Maximum conductivity was exhibited by the composition with equal amounts of CaO and $Y_2O_3$, which may be ascribed to the smaller degree of defect-interactions in that composition due to the competition of different ordering schemes between the two systems. When compared to the composition containing $Y_2O_3$ only, co-doping of CaO increases the grain boundary resistance considerably. The activation energy of grain and grain boundary conductivity was 1.1 eV and 1.2 eV, respectively, with no appreciable dependence on dopant compositions.

  • A modern approach to nuclear energy involves reprocessing like transmutations of spent nuclear fuel products to reduce their radiotoxicity and time needed for their storage. For this purpose, they are immobilized in inert matrices made of zirconia and can be "burned" in fast neutron reactor or Accelerator Driven System. These matrices in spherical form can be obtained by sol-gel process. The paper presents a method of microspheres fabrication based on the combined Complex Sol-Gel Process and double extraction process consisting in the preparation of zirconium-ascorbate sol and simultaneous extraction of water and nitrates. The procedure allows obtaining gel microspheres with a diameter of 50 ㎛, which after heat treatment are processed into the final product. The synthesis of zirconia microspheres with Yttrium by internal gelation process is well known for over a decade now. However, the explanation and characterization of synthesis of such material by extraction of water process is rarely found. Parameters such as: pH, viscosity, shape, sphericity and crystal structure have been determined for synthesized products and semi-products. In addition, preliminary research consisting in irradiation of the obtained materials in fast and thermal neutron flux was carried out. The obtained results are presented and described in this work.

  • 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.

  • Western wedding ceremony is generalized and it has been focused on bride's wedding dress and jewelry design as coming in western culture in Korea. Especially, metal design has developed a lot as enlarging the scale of jewelry market but study of gem cutting design is insufficient really. To meet demands of consumers of the 21th century we try fancy not standardizing style gems by using new faceting technique to maximize brilliance as wedding jewelry. In this thesis, we use popular and moderate priced synthetic cubic zirconia(CZ) which is able to alternate expensive diamond and natural gems to make easy approach of consumer as main gem material of wedding jewelry. And we develop various gem cutting design that is used synthetic cubic zirconia(CZ). We will contribute to development of new wedding jewelry design proposing various gems cutting style fitted for gem setting technique of wedding jewelry.

  • The ceramic diffusion coupling with the green body of calcium-doped lanthanum chromite(La$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$CrO$_3$CLC- G) and sintered calcium-doped lanthanum chromite(La$_{0.8}$Ca$_{0.2}$CrO$_3$ CLC) by Pechini's method on yttria stabilized zirconia(YSZ) plate has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction pattern of CLC sides at the reacted CLC-G/ CLC and CLC/YSZ interface were identified as La$_{1-x}$ Ca$_{x}$CrO$_3$ and the unreacted YSZ side was cubic-ZrO$_2$ at the treated condition, 1300~1500 C for 10 hr in air, respectively. The order of migration components between CLC/YSZ interface was Zr>La>>Cr>>>Ca and these changes were not dependent upon the treated conditions. The grain shape and size at the interface of CLC-G/CLC was appeared to have a uniform distribution with increasing temperature. The bonding reaction of YSZ/CLC was occurred without a large amount change of the compositions in SEM photos.os.otos.os.

  • Although low translucency 3 mol% yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal has excellent mechanical properties, it has limited application as a monolithic prosthesis. To improve these optical limitations, translucent zirconia has improved esthetics due to an increase in the cubic phase; however, it is accompanied by a decrease in mechanical properties simultaneously. Lithium disilicate has improved its mechanical properties through crystal size reduction and various heat treatment methods; therefore, its clinical application range is continuously increasing. Translucent zirconia shows a wide distribution of physical properties depending on the yttria content and lithium disilicate according to the size and density of crystal grains. As a result, the indications for translucent zirconia and lithium disilicate are increasing. Therefore, in this literature review, we intend to examine the rationale behind the material selection criteria in clinical situations and considerations for designing fixed dental prostheses including pontic, in particular, by summarizing recent studies.
