ATEM has been used to characterize three different silicon nitride materials after tensile creep in air at 1200 to 1400° C. In Part I, the microstructures and microstructural changes that occur during testing were described, and consistent with that description the designations and sintering aids for these materials were: W/YAS, a SiC whisker reinforced Si3N4 processed with yttria (6w/o) and alumina (1.5w/o); YAS, Si3N4 processed with yttria (6 w/o) and alumina (1.5w/o); and YS, Si3N4 processed with yttria (4.0 w/o). This paper, Part II, addresses the interfacial cavitation processes that occur in these materials and which are ultimately responsible for creep rupture.

Solid-state lasers have aroused many researchers’ interests for a variety of applications in military and industrial fields. Because of the preference for increased output power, Nd:YAG single crystals, which are the most widely used gain media, should be replaced by other more suitable candidates. Polycrystalline sesquioxide ceramics show great potential for use as gain media because their thermal and mechanical characteristics are suitable for use with high-energy laser systems. Recently, novel concepts of the gain media were also introduced. Herein, while briefly looking back on the progress of polycrystalline laser ceramics, we will discuss new interests in host materials and systems.

AbstractSSZ-based ceramics were obtained by sintering of nanopowders derived at room temperature by mechanochemical synthesis from refined technical grade ZrO2 nano-precursors. RT-treatment by 2.5 MeV electrons up to 1563 K was used for the modification of ceramics. Powders and ceramics were characterized by XRD, Raman, SEM and EDS, TEM, SIMS techniques. The phase composition of Zr0.89Sc0.1Ce0.01O1.95 ceramics was very close to cubic structure but better fitting of XRD patterns was obtained for rhombohedral lattice. Conductivity of solid electrolytes for IT SOFC was studied by complex impedance method. To stabilize cubic structure and increase conductivity at operation temperature of To ∼ 1000 K, the composition of SSZ solid electrolyte was optimized by addition of yttria and sintering aids. The interaction of admixtures with minor dopants leading to intergrain phase was revealed. During fast sintering, ceramics keep a memory about inhomogeneous disordered solid solutions in a form of nanostructuring. Conductivity data indicate nanostructuring of ceramics too: activation energies of bulk and grain boundary conductivities are close (Eb ∼ 0.9 eV, Egb ∼ 1.05 eV). Annealing of ceramics at high temperatures increases conductivity at To and promotes grain growth.
