Correlation of thermal conductivity changes with anisotropic nano-pores of EB-PVD deposited FYSZ-coatings

► Deposition of Fully Yttria Stabilised Zirconia (FYSZ) by EB-PVD process. ► Investigation of open/closed pore population by contrast SANS technique. ► in-situ high temperature SANS analysis of anisotropic pores. ► SEM and FIB-TEM Analysis of microstructure, pore morphology/crystallography. ► Establishment of relation between pore morphology and thermal conductivity.
