Abstract
EXAFS data comparing the local structural environments of the calcium and zirconium ions in calcia-stabilised zirconia are presented. The Zr data resembles that observed previously for yttria-stabilised zirconia with the zirconium ions tending to be displaced from their centrosymmetric sites and a Zr-O distance of 2.12 Å. These similarities suggest that anion vacancies in this material are also to be found adjacent to Zr4+. The calcium ions are not displaced from their lattice sites but their immediate anion neighbours are highly disordered resulting in at least two Ca-O distances in the radial distribution of the nearest neighbour shell.
