Abstract

The luminescence of nanocrystalline tetragonal and cubic ZrO2 has been investigated. The tetragonal undoped ZrO2 revealed two luminescence bands, at ~2.0 eV and 2.7 eV , but only one band at ~2.7 eV was observed from cubic ZrO2. This luminescence was shown to be intrinsic. The regular zirconium-oxygen complex excited state is suggested as being responsible for intrinsic luminescence.
