Abstract
50 mol%) in the final product. Annealed alumina-doped particles showed more pronounced shape persistence after annealing at 1000 ∘ C than undoped particles. Quantitative phase analyses revealed an increased stabilization of the tetragonal/cubic zirconia phase and a reduced grain growth with increasing alumina content. Elemental mapping indicated pronounced alumina segregation near the grain boundaries during annealing.
