Abstract
Xmol%CeO2-ZrO2 (x = 14 - 34) pseudo-single crystals grown by floating zone method were uniaxially compressed in the range of 0 to 1400 MPa a t 700 degrees C to examine the effect of axial ratio (cia) on the crit ical stress of ferroelastic domain switching. The critical stress mark edly increased with axial ratio. It could be understood, considering t he Landau theory and the ferroelastic domain switching model based on the tetragonal to cubic second order ferroelastic transition, that the critical stress was proportional to the cube of (c/a - 1).
