A method is proposed for the indirect determination of the stress dependence (expressed as piezospectroscopic (PS) coefficients) of spectroscopic bands of ceramic materials/phases. This method is based on the intimate mixture (intimate at the microstructural, grain-size level) of two phases/materials when the stress in one is independently known; it is used to determine the PS coefficients of the most intense Raman bands in ceria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Ce-TZP). Different amounts of Ce-TZP were mixed with alumina and the composite pellets sintered; subsequently, the stress in alumina was determined through the PS coefficient of its R2 luminescence band and the stress in Ce-TZP derived from the static equilibrium condition. The frequency shifts of each Raman band of Ce-TZP have been plotted against the stress and the slopes provide the PS coefficients. The method has the advantage of not requiring any type of loading device (i.e., diamond anvil-cell, bending jig). Finally, the limits are also discussed, the most important one being the requirement of immiscibility of the two materials/phases.
