Comparative computational and experimental insights into the structural, electrical, and biological properties of CeO2 fluorite ceramics by Raj Kumar, Vipin Kumar Gupta, Mohit Khosya, Sangeeta Singh, Upendra Kumar

“…However, CS exhibited a higher oxygen content than CP, implying variation in defect concentrations. FTIR confirmed phase purity with characteristic Ce–O vibrations at 435 and 1631 cm¹, while Raman spectroscopy supported this by revealing the F₂g mode (~ 465 cm¹) typical of fluorite-structured CeO₂. …”
