Ceramic density computation.
The image above represents theoretical density of ceramics.
To compute for theoretical density of ceramics five essential parameters are needed and these parameters are number of formula units in unit cell n sum of atomic weights of atoms σa c sum of atomic weights of anions σa a unit cell volume v c and avogadro s number n a.
Zro 2 which forms the matrix of this solid solution is a fluorite so final formula should be of the form ao 2 though the ratio will not be exactly.
