Abstract

The time-differential perturbed angular correlation technique has been used to investigate the thermal behavior of a ZrO2−13.6 mole % MgO ceramic between room temperature and 1423 K. Two different quadrupole hyperfine interactions corresponding to a tetragonal structure have been found to result on cooling the ceramic from the single-phase cubic field. One of them agrees with that depicting the pure t-ZrO2 tetragonal phase and the other one has been interpreted as describing a high-MgO-content nontransformable t'–ZrO2 phase. As temperature increases, the latter gives rise to a similar but fluctuating interaction related to the oxygen vacancies mobility and which shows a thermal behavior analogous to that already reported for the stabilized cubic ZrO2. Above 1100 K these dynamic t'-sites transform into pure tetragonal ones which behave ordinarily, suffering the tm phase transition when cooling to room temperature. Differences found between TDPAC results and information drawn from other techniques are discussed.
