Abstract
A special routine for suppression the grain growth process of yttrium oxide (Y2O3) by confining its nano crystallites in a polycrystalline magnesium oxide (MgO) matrix via the sol-gel method is currently being reported. The binary system of Y2O3-MgO was investigated as a function of the concentration of Y2O3 and calcination temperature. Enhanced isotropic uniform stresses during cooling down caused by the doubled thermal expansion coefficient of the MgO matrix were calculated. Both effects of applied hydrostatic pressure and inhibited grain growth of Y2O3 on the crystallographic phase transitions and morphology were investigated in the unique system of Y2O3-MgO.
