Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a ceramic in which the crystal structure of zirconium dioxide becomes stable at room temperature by adding yttrium oxide to. These oxides are named because of the origin of "zirconia" (ZrO2) and "yttria" (Y2O3). Some of the abbreviations commonly used are as follow: Figure 3312 shows the Z-contrast image of a symmetric 24° [001] tilt grain boundary in YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia), the schematic of the grain boundary structure and the EEL spectra from the bulk and grain boundary after removal of EELS background. Table 3312 lists the material properties which has been extracted from the EELS profiles. These properties may cause an increase of the number of electrons in the conduction band at the grain boundaries.
