Abstract

The surface- and grain boundary composition of Y, Ce and Ti doped zirconia were studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Auger Electron Spectroscopy/Scanning Auger Microscopy. The grain boundaries and free surfaces showed the same enrichment levels. After heat treatment ge 1000 DaggerC all yttria doped samples showed yttrium enrichment. In the ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ system the yttrium enrichment did not depend on the bulk concentration and amounted 30–34 mol% YO_1.5 in all cases. As a consequence the segregation factor increases with decreasing solute concentration in the bulk. The thickness of the segregation layer was about 2–4 nm. In the ternary Y doped systems yttrium is the main segregant. In ceria-doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Ce-TZP) systems significant segregation of cerium starts at T≥1300‡C and is mainly attributed to Ce³⁺. In Y,Ti-TZP systems also strong segregation of Ti⁴⁺ occurs. The absolute value of the increase of the surface concentration in fine grained material is smaller than in coarse grained material. This is mainly due to depletion of the bulk.
