2. Cubic zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_zirconia

   Cubic zirconia (abbreviated CZ) is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2). The synthesized material is hard and usually colorless, but may be made in a variety of different colors.

3. Shelby Gem Factory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Gem_Factory

   Shelby Gem Factory jewelry of man-made synthetic rubies A cubic zirconia gem-making furnace. Some of the furnaces burned at 5,040 °F (2,780 °C). [10] Factory tours were discontinued due to liability concerns attendant to the "very high temperatures and extremely bright light" and the unavailability of affordable insurance to cover the risk.

4. Zirconium dioxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium_dioxide

   Visually discerning a good quality cubic zirconia gem from a diamond is difficult, and most jewellers will have a thermal conductivity tester to identify cubic zirconia by its low thermal conductivity (diamond is a very good thermal conductor). This state of zirconia is commonly called cubic zirconia, CZ, or zircon by jewellers, but the last ...

5. Zirconium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium

   The most common oxide is zirconium dioxide, ZrO 2, also known as zirconia. This clear to white-coloured solid has exceptional fracture toughness (for a ceramic) and chemical resistance, especially in its cubic form. [37] These properties make zirconia useful as a thermal barrier coating, [38] although it is also a common diamond substitute. [37]

6. Holmium(III) oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmium(III)_oxide

   Holmium oxide has a cubic, yet rather complex bixbyite structure, with many atoms per unit cell and a large lattice constant of 1.06 nm. This structure is characteristic of oxides of heavy rare-earth elements, such as Tb 2 O 3 , Dy 2 O 3 , Er 2 O 3 , Tm 2 O 3 , Yb 2 O 3 and Lu 2 O 3 .

7. Yttria-stabilized zirconia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttria-stabilized_zirconia

   Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) crystal structure. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a ceramic in which the cubic crystal structure of zirconium dioxide is made stable at room temperature by an addition of yttrium oxide. These oxides are commonly called "zirconia" (Zr O 2) and "yttria" (Y 2 O 3), hence the name.
