Abstract:
Anodic oxide films with nanocrystalline tetragonal ZrO(2) precipitated in an amorphous oxide matrix were formed on Zr-Si and Zr-Al alloys and had significantly enhanced capacitance in comparison with those formed on zirconium metal. The capacitance enhancement was associated with the formation of a high-temperature stable tetragonal ZrO(2) phase with high relative permittivity as well as increased ionic resistivity, which reduces the thickness of anodic oxide films at a certain formation voltage. However, there is a general empirical trend that single-phase materials with higher permittivity have lower ionic resistivity. This study presents a novel material design based on a nanocrystalline-amorphous composite anodic oxide film for capacitor applications.
