Abstract
The phase composition and electrical conductivity of HfO2-Y2O3 materials we re studied in the composition range 2.5-7.0 mol % Y2O3 Ceramic samples were found to contain, along with tetragonal and cubic phases, monoclinic HfO2, whose concentration decreases with increasing firing temperature. As the c ontent of the monoclinic phase increases, the ionic transference number ten ds to decrease. The Arrhenius plots of conductivity show kinks in the range 750-850 degrees C, which are likely due to the monoclinic-tetragonal phase transition.
