The zirconia containing 12wt%Y2O3 thin films deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering at 25℃ or 400℃, and then bombarded with Ar+ beam at room temperature were characterized with XRD before and after Ar+ bombardment. It is found that a series of phases formation and transformation happened, among them the most important event is that T' phase appeared after Ar+ irradiation and the content of the T' phase increased with the increase of Ar+ ion doses from 5×1015 to 6×1016 ions cm-2.
