Oxygen vacancy ordering induced displacements of cations in yttria-stabilized zirconia

Using scanning transmission electron microscopy, we report direct observation of oxygen vacancy ordering induced atomic displacements of the cation sub-lattice in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). We find that the cation lattice adopts a zigzag configuration along the [100] direction with alternatel...
