Material Fig. 1: brezirkon - structure The „brezirkon“ material is an yttrium oxide-stabilized, tetragonal polycrystalline zirconium oxide, i.e. zirconium oxide is doped with 3 mol percent to obtain the stable rectangular structure at room temperature as well. |
 |
Material table Doping with yttrium oxide results in a minimal radiation level which is far below natural radioactivity* (e.g. 1,000 Bq for 1 kg of coffee). *Definition of Becquerel (Bq)*: The becquerel (symbol Bq) is the SI derived unit of radioactivity, defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.
