Obtaining and sintering yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powders from alkoxides

Amorphous zirconia ceramics powders containing 3 and 6 mol% yttria were prepared by controlled hydrolysis of alkoxides. Characterization of these powders was carried away by Thermal Analysis, X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX). The calcination temperature was optimized for compaction at a temperature ranging from 500–800°C. 3% molar YSZ powders from alkoxide, that attained 98% of the theoretical bulk density, showed the best behaviour.     

Controllable synthesis of Y2O3 microstructures for application in cataluminescence gas sensing

Y(2)O(3) dumbbells, microspheres, and nanosheets were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal procedure followed by calcination. Electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and N(2) adsorption measurements were used to characterize the yttrium oxide microstructures. On the basis of a time-dependent study of nanostructure evolution and the effect of other processing parameters, a kinetic "homogeneous nucleation-self assembly-anisotropic growth" mechanism is proposed to explain the growth of these microstructures under hydrothermal conditions. The sensitivity of as-prepared Y(2)O(3) structures to a series of gaseous chemicals was examined by using a homemade cataluminescence sensing system. The designed cataluminescence sensor based on the yttrium oxide dumbbells shows good sensing performance for 16 common volatile organic compounds.     

Temperature‐dependent EXAFS study of the local structure and lattice dynamics in cubic Y2O3

The local structure and lattice dynamics in cubic Y₂O₃ were studied at the Y K‐edge by X‐ray absorption spectroscopy in the temperature range from 300 to 1273 K. The temperature dependence of the extended X‐ray absorption fine structure was successfully interpreted using classical molecular dynamics and a novel reverse Monte Carlo method, coupled with the evolutionary algorithm. The obtained results allowed the temperature dependence of the yttria atomic structure to be followed up to ～6 Å and to validate two force‐field models.     

Influence of polymeric additives on morphology and performance of Y2O3:Eu phosphor synthesized by flame-assisted spray pyrolysis

Fine powder of cubic Y₂O₃:Eu phosphor was synthesized and simultaneously deposited on fused silica slides by low-temperature flame-assisted spray pyrolysis in premixed propane/air flames. By adding ethylene glycol and citric acid to the precursor solution, morphology of phosphor particles could be improved. The intensity of the photoluminescence (PL)-emission of the phosphor screens deposited by the modified technique, when excited by ultraviolet (UV)-light with the wavelength of 254 nm, did not exceed that of the screens deposited without the polymeric additives. However, in vacuum UV, phosphors produced with the addition of polymers perform significantly better than the ordinary “no-polymer” FASP-coatings.

Surface changes of yttria‐stabilized zirconia in water and Hanks solution characterized using XPS

Adhesion of soft and hard tissues to yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has been reported, despite its chemical inertness. To investigate the underlying mechanism of adhesion of hard and soft tissues to YSZ in dental implants, YSZ disks with (100), (110), and (111) crystalline planes were immersed in water for 60 days and in Hanks solution for 7 days, and the changes in the surface chemical states were characterized using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. After immersion in water for 60 days, the concentration of hydroxyl groups on the YSZ surface increased. Therefore, the surface of YSZ was hydrated during immersion in water. In addition, phosphate groups were formed on the surface of YSZ immersed in Hanks solution. We conclude that the formation of phosphate on the YSZ surface in physiological conditions can promote reaction with the surrounding tissues.
