Abstract
The incorporation of solute elements into single crystals has been exa mined for many years. In this paper we investigate the distribution co efficient of Nd2O3 in cubic stabilized zirconiumdioxide crystals. The distribution coefficient is measured as a function of the growth veloc ity. The validity of the Burton-Prim-Slichter theory [J A. Burton, R.C . Prim and W.P. Slichter, J. Chem. Phys. 21 (1953) 1987] for the syste m zirconium dioxide/yttrium oxide is confirmed by the experimental res ults. The value for the equilibrium distribution coefficient is evalua ted as k0 = 0.426.
