Abstract

Grain boundaries in ZrO2-containing alumina, ZrO2, and in Ni1−yO (containing different impurities) were investigated by TEM including analytical studies. Quite frequently, interphases exist at the boundaries. The interphases are composed mainly by impurities present in the materials. The “width” of boundaries in Ni1-yO depends on intrinsic defects as well as on impurities; the dependency will be discussed. The observations are related to properties of the different ceramics.
