Abstract
ZrO2 films partially stabilized with MgO in the concentration range 7.6 - 26.1mol% of MgO have been investigated. The deposition were achieved by coevaporation using a double hearths electron-gun. X-rays diffraction patterns displayed polycrystalline structure. Cubic phase appears from 11.1 mol % MgO. The dielectric constant and the ac conductivity increase to maxima for 14.5, mol % MgO content whatever is the temperature in the range 27°C-700°C. It was also found that the film refractive index exhibits the same behaviour.
