Abstract

Synthesized zirconia ceramics are prepared through the coprecipita-tion process. Application of the wet chemical approach is aimed at the achievement of highly sintered ceramics at lower temperature. The thermal evolution of the synthesized CeO2-ZrO2 powder is investigated with the aid of DTA and TGA measurement. The exothermic peaks on the DTA thermogram are futher identified by the IR analysis. The effect of CeO on the occurrence of the peaks is probed. For other rare-earth oxiae doped ceramics, such as Nd2O3. and Dy2O3. containing zirconia, the bulk and grain boundary resistances are evaluated by the impedance spectroscopy. The dependence of the associated activation energy in the rare-earth oxide doped zirconia is discussed with respect to the variation of the ionic radius of the rare earth constituent.
