Abstract
The aim of the present paper was to investigate micro-scale spatial distribution of tetragonal and monoclinic zirconia phases by simultaneous spatial mapping of zirconia Raman scattering signal and the Sm3+ dopant photoluminescence. A set of 4, 8 and 10 mol% Sm3+ doped zirconia samples was prepared via scull-melting technique. In two samples (8 and 10 mol% Sm-doped) tetragonally stabilised zirconia is dominating, whereas in the 4 mol% doped samples a specific microscopic scale segregation of both tetragonal and monoclinic phase ZrO2 was found.
