Raman Scattering and t-Phase Lattice Vibration of 3% (mole fraction) Y2O3-ZrO2

Abstract

Abstract: The Raman spectra of 3% (mole fraction) Y2O3-ZrO2 (3Y) are obtained at different temperature from 77 K to 853 K. The results show that 260 cm-1 Eg and 460 cm-1 Eg modes on the spectra shift toward lower wave number with the increase of temperature; meanwhile, the continuity of the Half Width at Half Maximum (HWHM) and wave number (frequency) of Raman bands are broken and t-phase only partially transforms to m-phase at 523 K. Based on the experimental results, this paper discusses the t-phase lattice vibration of 3Y and presents the images of vibration displacement of six Raman-active modes for t-phase of ZrO2. The analysis indicates that there are diversities existing in the displacement of the atomic vibration of Raman-active modes because of their different symmetries at various temperature, which leads to the different change tendencies of Raman bands. Furthermore, the abrupt changes of some Raman-active modes indicating the atomic displacement are assumed to be the condensations of phonon modes in the t→m phase transition.

Key words: Raman scattering, Zirconia, Phase transition, Condensation of phonon
