• Description: The paper represents a detailed insight into the correlation between changes of the phase composition of crystalline YbZrO solid solutions and their structural, electrical, mechanical and optical properties. Particularly, the effect of the crystal growth conditions and stabilizer amount are studied in terms of Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray diffraction data, electrical conductivity measured by impedance spectroscopy, absorption coefficient and refractive index measurements, Vickers microhardness, plastic microhardness and effective elastic modulus (Depth sensing indentation technique).
