However, low transparency of the resultant TZ-3Y-E specimens does not suggest a beneficial effect of alumina dopant although nanometric grains and high density have been achieved. The mechanism is analyzed by comparing with the results of as-sintered yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia without alumina dopant.}, pages = {1--5}, title = {Effect of Alumina Dopant on Transparency of Tetragonal Zirconia}, volume = {2012}, year = {2012} }
