Extract

The investigation of interfaces between NiO and Y2O3 is part of a research initiative to understand low-energy heterophase interface structures between different oxide materials. In-situ oxide composites formed by the directional solidification of pseudo-binary eutectics are used as model materials in this study because they are amenable to chemical and structural characterization at the atomic length-scale. Previously, interfaces in NiO-ZrO2(cubic) directionally solidified eutectics (DSEs) were examined by various electron imaging and spectroscopy techniques to reveal the three-dimensional interface structure.[l] The second DSE system studied, NiO-Y2O3,[2] was chosen because it is very similar in crystallography to NiO-ZrO2(cubic). The goal of this second, analogous study is not only to understand the NiO-Y2O3 interface structure but, by comparing the results to NiO-ZrO2, is to draw more general conclusions about low energy oxide-oxide interfaces. Table one compares the crystallography of the NiO-ZrO2 and the NiO-Y2O3 DSEs.
