Monte Carlo simulation of oxygen mobility in cubic zirconia

Creator:

Gutekunst, Bernd

Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is a study of the thermodynamics and the transport of oxygen in yttrium-doped cubic zirconia (Zr0₂). This material is representative of other ceramics with the same crystal structure (Y-Ce0₂ etc.). The Monte Carlo technique as developed by Metropolis et al. is used to calculate thermodynamical...
