Abstract
A comparative study was carried out of the structure of samples of zirconium oxides modified by yttrium and magnesium, synthesized by coprecipitation and calcined during 10 days at a temperature of 1250 °C. Refinement of the structure of the samples according to diffraction data within the framework of the fluorite type, gives high uncertainty factors, regardless of composition, and variation of structural parameters does not reduce their value. EXAFS analysis of the local structure of the samples revealed separate clusters consisting only of yttrium and oxygen ions in the structure of both samples. It has been suggested that the presence of these clusters prevents refinement of structures using the model of statistical solid solution with a fluorite structure.
