Abstract: Based on the relation between the phase contents in a multiphase powder and their corresponding scale factors in Rietveld refinements, the phase abundance of multiphase material could be quantitatively obtained[1]. The results of quantitative phase analysis of Y2O3-doped ZrO2 specimens using Rietveld technique and X-ray diffraction data of profile intensities were given. The effect of grinding on the transformation of tetragonal to monoclinic ZrO2 was a1so confirmed.

Key words: Rietveld method, ZrO2, quantitative analysis, multiphase powder
