Hochsch., Diss., 2013 AB - In this thesis, the effect of Si and Y alloying on the phase stability of Al2O3 polymorphs was investigated by ab initio calculations and experimental approach. In the first part the effect of Si alloying on the phase stability of Al2O3 polymorphs has been studied. Using density functional theory, the effect of Si on the stability and electronic structure of gamma- and alpha-Al2O3 has been investigated. The concentration range from 0 to 5 at.
