Abstract

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Phase stability and transport characteristics of (ZrO2)1-x(Sc2O3)x(СeO2)y and (ZrO2)1-x-y-z(Sc2O3)x(СeO2)y(Y2O3)z solid solution crystals" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352340917302329 [1]. It contains data on densities and microhardness of the as-grown crystals. The data on the specific conductivity of the as-grown and annealing at 1000 °С for 400 h ScCeSZ and ScCeYSZ crystals in the temperature range 623-1173 K is also included in this article. The article describes also the growth of the (ZrO2)1-x(Sc2O3)x(СeO2)y and (ZrO2)1-x-y-z(Sc2O3)x(СeO2)y(Y2O3)z solid solution crystals using directional melt crystallization in a cold crucible.
