In this study, the Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) thin films were deposited on the sapphire substrate (Al2O3) by dip-coating method using simple ethanol-based YSZ suspension. The layer thickness of YSZ films were varied by sintering at 1300°C. Phase change and structural evolution in YSZ films we...
