Microanalysis of directionally solidified cobalt oxide-zirconia eutectic.

摘要

Analytical electron microscopy (AEM) was performed with a AEM equipped with a field emission gun, an electron energy-loss spectrometer, and an energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometer. The microstructure consists of alternating lamellae of CoO and Ca- stabilized cubic-ZrO(sub 2), each up to 1(mu)m wide, and a thin (100- 200 nm) irregular layer of Co(sub 3)O(sub 4) spinel extending into the CoO from the flat ZrO(sub 2) interface.
