| Abstract: | It was determined that the mean grain boundary radius of curvature  in 3 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia isothermally annealed without and with a DC electric field  = 18 V/cm was uniquely proportional to the mean linear intercept grain size  , the proportionality constant α = 3/2 being in accord with the Rios‐Fonseca stereological model. |
