Abstract
Abstract This work attempts to give a unified picture of the microscopic mechanisms which control the plastic deformation in yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia single crystals, particularly for the soft orientation (uniaxial compression along the crystallographic axis) at low, intermediate and high temperatures while also reviewing and updating the existing data for different yttria contents (9.4 – 32 mol.%). The controlling deformation mechanisms are: internal friction within the crystal lattice (Peierls mechanism at low temperatures), pinning of dislocations by localized obstacles and long-range interaction between dislocations (intermediate temperatures) and dislocation viscous glide and climb (recovery creep) at higher temperatures. New aspects of the Portevin–le Chatelier phenomenon during viscous glide, due to the pinning and unpinning of dislocations from their defect clouds (yttrium substitutional atoms), are included.
