Abstract

3 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powders were sintered into pellets. The YSZ ceramics were electrically polarized by applying dc voltage at an elevated temperature. After cooling the samples to room temperature, the polarized YSZ ceramics were heated at a constant heating rate. The formed polarizations were relaxed with increase of the increase temperature. The depolarization current was measured as thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC). Each of the TSDC spectra had two peaks located at lower and higher temperatures. The lower and higher peaks are attributed to dipole polarization and space charge polarization, respectively.
