Popis: The temperature dependences of the specific heat and transport characteristics of phonons in single crystals of yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide Y2O3:ZrO2 solid solutions have been studied. It has been shown that the temperature dependences of the specific heat at T > 5 K are almost identical at the degree of stabilization of a solid solution with an Y2O3 content of 5–20 mol %. Differences in the temperature dependences of the specific heat of samples from different sources at T < 5 K are due to the presence of low-energy two-level systems. The features of the transport characteristics of thermal phonons at liquid helium temperatures reflect not only the presence of two-level systems but also the scattering of phonons on low-dimensional domains of another phase coherently conjugate to the main phase of the Y2O3:ZrO2 solid solution.
