Talk:Zirconium dioxide

message: The patents section refers to "zirconia oxide".  Surely this should be either zirconia or zirconium oxide? 86.152.154.224 (talk) 13:03, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  zirconia oxide? 

message: This article mentions many uses of ZrO2 but not how it is actually made. If someone gets a chance to add its derivation from zircon that would be great. If I get done with finals and have some time I'll add it myself. Darkwraith (talk) 17:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Zirconium dioxide would be a better name for this article, or at least more in keeping with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (chemistry). I would do the move, except that this article seems to have come from there. What do people think? Physchim62 22:29, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

message: "Zirconia is one of few compounds that actually becomes conductive at high temperatures"
Increasing conductivity with temperature is normal for most materials (taking insulators and semiconductors together as being a majority), and that's almost a definitive property of a semiconductor. Mainly metals tend to go the other way, so it's not really correct to say zirconia is one of "few compounds" that do this when in fact it's one of a very large number of common compounds with the same property. Zirconia is often considered to be a "wide bandgap" semiconductor (Eg~5-ish eV), and it shares a lot of properties with diamond (Eg~5.5 eV) because their bandgaps are similar.
