G. Garcia et al., STRUCTURAL-PROPERTIES OF YTTRIA-STABILIZED ZIRCONIA FILMS GROWN ON SILICON(001) USING MOCVD, CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION, 3(2), 1997, pp. 91-96
Layers of yttria-stabilized zirconia with different yttria content wer
e prepared using MOCVD. The variation of the crystallographic paramete
rs of the cell, as well as the residual stress of the deposits have be
en studied by XRD as a function of yttria content. The maximum value o
f the stress has been correlated with a deformation of the cell, in th
e cubic domain, due to an intrinsic structural modification of the cry
stals.
