M. Yashima et al., DETERMINATION OF CUBIC-TETRAGONAL PHASE-BOUNDARY IN ZR1-XYXO2-X 2 SOLID-SOLUTIONS BY RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPY/, Journal of applied physics, 74(12), 1993, pp. 7603-7605
Raman spectroscopy is found to be a powerful tool to determine the str
uctural phase boundary between cubic (Fm3m) and tetragonal (P4(2)/nmc)
Phase in arc-melted Zr1-XYXO2-X/2 (0.08 less-than-or-equal-to X less-
than-or-equal-to 0.24) solid solution. The Raman peak intensity charac
teristic of the tetragonal phase at about 470 cm-1 decreases with the
YO1.5 content X and becomes 0 around X = 0.18.
