First Principle Study of Structural, Electronic, Optical, and Thermodynamic Properties of Scandium-Doped Zirconia Zr1−xScxO2,x=0.125 by Lemessa Asefa Eressa, Zeleke Deressa Gerbi

“…The heat capacities of ZrO2 and Sc-ZrO2 calculated at temperature of 800 K are 74.27 and 77.98 J/K/Nmol, respectively. The result of thermodynamic properties calculations show that doping scandium in zirconia enhances its entropy and specific heat capacity thereby allowing it to be thermodynamically stable for a wide range of electronic applications.…”
