1 mol% Ni2+-doped Y2O3shows flash-sintering at DC fields greater than 300 V/cm. When compared to the undoped Y2O3, the onset temperature for the flash event is reduced by about 200 °C due to the Ni-doping. The electric conductivity during the sintering experiments for the Ni-doped Y2O3begins to increase above those of the undoped Y2O3at temperatures greater than 700 °C, then steeply rises corresponding to the flash event. Electron energy loss spectrometry (EELS) measurements indicated that Y2O3is highly reduced by the combination of the Ni-doping and flash-sintering as well as by conventional sintering in a reducing atmosphere. The applied electric field must involve the formation of oxygen anion vacancies and liberated electrons, and consequently, enhances the diffusional mass transport and electronic conduction in the Y2O3. The enhanced flash-sintering in the Ni-doped Y2O3must be attributed to an avalanche of the vacancy-electron pairs facilitated by the Ni-doping.
