Analysis of the Luminescent Emission during Flash Sintering of 8YSZ and 20SDC Ceramics

Light-emission data were collected before, during, and after the occurrence of the flash event in pressureless electric-field-assisted (flash) sintering experiments on ZrO<sub>2</sub>: 8 mol% Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (8YSZ) and CeO<sub>2</sub>: 20 mo...

description Light-emission data were collected before, during, and after the occurrence of the flash event in pressureless electric-field-assisted (flash) sintering experiments on ZrO<sub>2</sub>: 8 mol% Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (8YSZ) and CeO<sub>2</sub>: 20 mol% Sm<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (20SDC) ceramic green pellets to analyze the luminescent emission from the samples. The experiments were performed at 800 °C with an applied electric field of 100 V·cm<sup>−1</sup> at 1 kHz, limiting the electric current to 1 A. Luminescence data were obtained in the 200–1200 nm (ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared) range. The deconvolution of the optical spectra allowed for the identification of emission bands in the visible range due exclusively to the samples. The wavelength maxima of the emission bands in 8YSZ were found to be different from those in 20SDC. It is suggested that these bands might originate from the interaction of the electric current, resulting from the application of the electric field, with the depleted species located at the space-charge region at the grain boundaries of these ceramics. The main results represent a contribution to help to clarify the mechanisms responsible for the fast densification with inhibition of grain growth in electroceramics.
