Abstract
A surface structural analysis of two ceramic samples of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) sintered at 1550°C, stabilized in the tetragonal form, before and after hydrothermal treatment, has been performed by the Rietveld method based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The first sample was zirconium oxide with addition of ytterbium oxide (3 mol %), and the second sample contained ytterbium (3 mol %) and neodymium (0.25 mol %) oxides. The hydrothermal treatment is found to change the phase composition. In the initial state, there are two tetragonal ZrO2 forms (t and t'). The processes of surface-layer dissolution and crystallization of the monoclinic ZrO2 modification occur during hydrothermal treatment. ZrO2 crystals are shaped as plates elongated in the [111] direction, with developed {001} faces. Addition of neodymium oxide slows down the monoclinic-phase formation.
