Abstract

On the basis of a previously described structural model for the Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia, the conductivity for this material can be calculated. A fixed number of clusters is generated in a structure of 70×28 polyhedra to simulate different Y contents in the structure. The results are compared with the experimental results obtained by others and discussed.
