SHORT-RANGE ORDER IN NANOCRYSTALLINE ZIRCONIA-BASED POWDERS

摘要

The short-range order in the structure of ZrO_2-Y_2O_3-Al_2O_3 quasi-amorphous powder prepared by laser evaporation was studied by pair-distribution-function analysis of x-ray scattering data. Near-neighbor distances were determined, and the effect of termination errors on the PDF of ZrO_2-Y_2O_3-Al_2O_3 was assessed.
