Abstract

The electron energy-loss near-edge structure (ELNES) and x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) at the oxygen K-edge has been investigated in a range of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) materials. The positions of the peaks in the near-edge structure are identical in both techniques. Differences observed in the intensities of the features are attributed to the effect of specimen charging in the XANES experiments. Analysis of near-edge structure reveals that both the crystallographic phase and the metal fraction of yttrium present can be determined directly from the oxygen K-edge data opening up opportunities for characterization of interfacial phenomena in YSZ materials with sub-nanometre resolution using ELNES.
