Zirconium oxide is a widely used material because of its heat resistance, low thermal conductivity,<br />

high refractive index and high transparency in the visible and near infrared region, very high chemical<br />

inertness and high laser damage threshold. Due to these properties, its applications can be found<br />

in very different aspects of technology. For instance, zirconia has been applied as thermal barrier<br />

coating (TBC)], optical filters, laser mirrors], oxygen sensors], and solid oxide fuel cells].<br />

TBC’s based on yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) films prepared by electron beam physical vapour<br />

deposition (EB-PVD) are candidates for advanced thermal barrier coatings for the new generation of<br />

land-based gas turbines because of the different obtained microstructure respect to other deposition<br />

techniques. The low thermal conductivity magnitude for the films is mainly due to two factors: the<br />

film microstructure and the intrinsic thermal conductivity value. For YSZ system, this second factor<br />

is related with the oxygen defect structure which is induced when Zr 4+ ions are substituted with trivalent<br />

Y 3+ ions giving rise to oxygen vacancies to compensate electrical charge.<br />

Undoubtedly, mechanical properties are of significant importance for TBC and optical applications.<br />

In this work, we present a nanoindentation characterization, where hardness and Young modulus<br />

have been obtained for a set of (Y 2 O 3 ) x -(ZrO 2 ) 1-x thin films prepared by EB-PVD on Si(100) substrates,<br />

in order to study the hardness dependence on the yttria content.<br />
